"And it happened that a disease spread, which Nikosz Kazantzakis called intellectual itch. The intellectually itchy person is constantly inventing new problems for himself, in fact, he is a small-scale problem-maker. According to the theory, the medicine for itchy problems is the often difficult solution, which in reality is never useful, because the imaginary and real problems of life cannot be solved. The human soul is tormented not by problems, but by tragedies, and it does not need solutions, but understanding and caressing. Most people suffer from sorghum deficiency. It's a serious disease, and it's hard to find a cure for it.

And it happened that a disease spread, which Nikosz Kazantzakis called intellectual itch. The intellectually itchy person is constantly inventing new problems for himself, in fact, he is a small-scale problem-maker. According to the theory, the medicine for itchy problems is the often difficult solution, which in reality is never useful, because the imaginary and real problems of life cannot be solved. The human soul is tormented not by problems, but by tragedies, and it does not need solutions, but understanding and caressing. Most people suffer from sorghum deficiency.

""Történt pedig, hogy elterjedt egy betegség, amit Nikosz Kazantzakisz intellektuális viszketegségnek nevezett. Az intellektuálisan viszkető ember állandóan új meg új problémákat talál ki magának, tulajdonképpen problémagyártó kisiparos. Az elmélet szerint a viszkető problémák gyógyszere a sokszor küzdelmes megoldás, ami a valóságban sohasem használ, mert az élet kitalált és valódi problémái nem megoldhatók. Az emberi lelket ugyanis nem problémák, hanem tragédiák gyötrik, s nem megoldásokra, hanem megértésre és simogatásra van szüksége. Az emberek többsége cirókahiányban szenved. Súlyos betegség, és nehéz rá írt találni."
