"If your heart beats eighty at a willing rate, don't want to live like a marathon runner. We must constantly hear the secret morse signs of our body and character, these subtle and powerful messages that dictate the true measure of your life. Those whose senses have been dulled by ambition and passion will no longer hear the voices. Such a person's body and soul live against the rhythm of the world; he lives in a way that is not worthy of a human being, so he sins inhumanly.

If your heart beats eighty at a willing rate, don't want to live like a marathon runner. We must constantly hear the secret morse signs of our body and character, these subtle and powerful messages that dictate the true measure of your life. Those whose senses have been dulled by ambition and passion will no longer hear the voices. Such a person's body and soul live against the rhythm of the world; he lives in a way that is not worthy of a human being, so he sins inhumanly.
""Akinek szíve készséges ütemmel nyolcvanat ver, ne akarjon maratoni versenyfutók módjára élni. Állandóan hallani kell testünk és jellemünk titkos morzejeleit, e finom és erélyes üzeneteket, melyek megszabják életed igazi mértékét. Kinek érzékeit eltompította a becsvágy, a szenvedély, nem hallja többé a hangokat. Az ilyen ember teste és lelke a világ üteme ellen él; emberhez nem méltó módon él, tehát embertelenül bűnhődik."
