"Most people are cowards when it comes to love. He is a coward, in the secret and mean sense of the word: he believes that love is weakness. This is fake love. The real one is different: self-aware, purposeful, active, yes, sometimes frighteningly sober and brave. It is not enough to love: you have to love wisely and soberly.

""A legtöbb ember gyáva a szeretethez. Gyáva, a szó titkos és aljas értelmében: azt hiszi, hogy a szeretet gyöngeség. Ez a hamis szeretet. Az igazi másféle: öntudatos, céltudatos, cselekvő, igen, néha félelmesen józan és bátor. Nem elég szeretni: okosan és józanul kell szeretni."
