There is something that can hurt, injure and burn in such a way that perhaps even death cannot resolve such torment: when a person or two people injure that deep sense of self in us, without which we can no longer remain human. Vanity, you say. Yes, vanity... and yet the deepest content of human life is this sense of self.

Hungarian

"Van valami, ami úgy tud fájni, sebezni és égetni, hogy talán a halál sem tudja feloldani az ilyen gyötrődést: ha egy ember vagy két ember megsebzi bennünk azt a mély önérzetet, mely nélkül nem tudunk többé emberek maradni. Hiúság, mondod. Igen, hiúság... s mégis az emberi élet legmélyebb tartalma ez az önérzet."
