There are many ways to write. Some people sit in a room and write, doing nothing else. These are happy. (...) Then there are those who wield the pen like a dagger and a sword, writing with blood. (...) These writers, for whom writing is only a tool because they want to change the world, are these unhappy writers who are powerful because they have spirit and strength, but they lack silence and reverence, and therefore they are unhappy. These are the ones who can knock down a king or the world order with one word, but cannot express what is the more secret meaning of life, the rapture that we live here on earth, the happiness that we are not alone.

Hungarian

"Írni sokféleképpen lehet. Van, aki egy szobában ül és ír, nem csinál semmi mást. Ezek boldogok. (...) Aztán vannak, akik úgy forgatják a tollat, mint a tőrt és kardot, vérrel írnak. (...) Ezek az írók, akiknek az írás csak eszköz, mert meg akarják változtatni a világot, ezek a boldogtalan írók, akik hatalmasok, mert van szellemük és erejük, de nincs bennük csend és áhítat, s ezért boldogtalanok. Ezek, akik le tudnak döfni egy szóval egy királyt, vagy a világrendet, de nem tudják kifejezni azt, ami az élet titkosabb értelme, az elragadtatást, hogy itt élünk a földön, a boldogságot, hogy nem vagyunk egyedül."
