"It is not true that a person is cleansed of suffering, becomes better, wiser and more understanding. The person becomes cold, initiated and indifferent. When a person, for the first time in his life, really understands destiny, he becomes almost calm. He is calm and so special, fearfully lonely in the world.

It is not true that a person is cleansed of suffering, becomes better, wiser and more understanding. The person becomes cold, initiated and indifferent. When a person, for the first time in his life, really understands destiny, he becomes almost calm. He is calm and so special, fearfully lonely in the world.
""Nem igaz, hogy az ember a szenvedéstől megtisztul, jobb lesz, bölcs és megértő. Az ember hideg lesz, beavatott és közömbös. Mikor az ember, először életében, igazán megérti a végzetet, csaknem nyugodt lesz. Nyugodt és olyan különösen, félelmesen magányos a világban."
