People who don't know death mistake it for dying and therefore fear it; as if someone were to mistake childbirth, which is blood and screams, with life! Death is quite different. It can fill a person like grace, or like mustard gas fills the lungs: every pore is filled with it. Death is complete. There are very few things in human life that are as complete as death.

Hungarian

"A halált az emberek, akik még nem ismerik, összetévesztik a meghalással, s ezért félnek tőle; mintha valaki a szülést, ami vér és sikoly, összetévesztené az élettel! A halál egészen más. Úgy meg tud tölteni egy embert, mint a kegyelem, vagy mint a mustárgáz a tüdőt: minden pórusunk megtelik vele. A halál teljes. Az emberi életben nagyon kevés dolog van, ami olyan teljes lenne, mint a halál."
