"Only tenderness is human. Passion is inhuman and hopeless. But the judgment that condemned all living beings to passion is merciless. The living world is built between desire and satisfaction, with such inhuman will as the pharaohs built the pyramids with naked masses.

Only tenderness is human. Passion is inhuman and hopeless. But the judgment that condemned all living beings to passion is merciless. The living world is built between desire and satisfaction, with such inhuman will as the pharaohs built the pyramids with naked masses.
""Csak a gyöngédség emberi. A szenvedély embertelen és reménytelen. De az ítélet, mely minden elevent szenvedélyre ítélt, könyörtelen. Vágy és kielégülés között épül az eleven világ, oly embertelen akarattal, ahogy a fáraók építtették meztelen tömegekkel a piramisokat."
