When, due to withering and decay, we see the delicate flower melt into a few grains of dust, the human and animal body into handfuls of earth, let us not think that the particles of matter that make them up have withered away and been destroyed; they just left the old connection to go to a finger; rising on wings, they scattered in the air to give rise to new life.

Hungarian

"Midőn a hervadás és rohadás folytán a gyöngéd virágot néhány porszemmé, az emberi és állati testet maroknyi földdé látjuk leolvadni, ne gondoljuk, hogy az azokat egybetevő anyagrészecskék elenyésztek, megsemmisültek; csak kiléptek a régi összeköttetésből, hogy egy ujba menjenek át; szárnyakra kelve szétoszoltak a levegőben, hogy uj életnek adjanak eredetet."
