"There are two ways to defend yourself against the body: with debauchery, or with cowardly, vain and insulted asceticism. He can't stand either, defiantly and fatally responds to both insults. The body can only handle honesty.

There are two ways to defend yourself against the body: with debauchery, or with cowardly, vain and insulted asceticism. He can't stand either, defiantly and fatally responds to both insults. The body can only handle honesty.
"Hungarian
"A test ellen kétféleképpen lehet védekezni: kicsapongással, vagy gyáva, hiú és sértődött aszkézissel. Egyiket sem bírja, dacosan és végzetesen felel mindkét sértésre. A test csak az őszinteséget bírja."
