"And is this feeling with which a man turns to a woman really personal? Isn't it for desire, forever and only for desire, which sometimes, for temporary periods, takes shape? And the artificial excitement in which we live could not have been the goal of nature when it created man and added woman to his side, because it saw that it was not good for them alone.

And is this feeling with which a man turns to a woman really personal? Isn't it for desire, forever and only for desire, which sometimes, for temporary periods, takes shape? And the artificial excitement in which we live could not have been the goal of nature when it created man and added woman to his side, because it saw that it was not good for them alone.
""S csakugyan személynek szól ez az érzés, mellyel egy férfi egy nő felé fordul? Nem a vágynak szól, örökké és csak a vágynak, mely néha, átmeneti időszakokra, testet ölt? S a mesterséges izgalom, melyben élünk, nem lehetett célja a természetnek, mikor megalkotta a férfit és asszonyt adott melléje, mert látta, hogy nem jó nekik egyedül."
