"He felt that goodness was not some permanent human ability and quality; it's the most a person can do if sometimes, rarely, he doesn't defend himself against his own goodness and ability to do good. Everything else is inhuman, a lie.

He felt that goodness was not some permanent human ability and quality; it's the most a person can do if sometimes, rarely, he doesn't defend himself against his own goodness and ability to do good. Everything else is inhuman, a lie.
"Hungarian
"Érezte, hogy a jóság nem valamilyen permanens emberi képesség és tulajdonság; a legtöbb, amire ember képes, ha néha, ritkán, nem védekezik tulajdon jósága és jóravaló készsége ellen. Minden más embertelen, hazug."
