"

When I turn to my memory and order it to perform this or that according to my command, some things come up immediately, others only after a long search, as if from more hidden drawers. There are things that swarm, and when a person wants or is looking for something else, they always jump there, as if asking: aren't we? In such cases, I push them away from the face of my memory with a wave of my soul, until it is cleared and what I am looking for comes from its hiding place.

Hungarian

"Mikor emlékezetemhez fordulok s elrendelem, hogy ezt vagy azt parancsom szerint adja elő, egynémely dolgok tüstént előjönnek, másokat csak hosszas keresés után, mintegy rejtettebb fiókokból szed elő. Vannak, amik seregestül tódulnak, s amikor az ember másvalamit akar vagy keres, minduntalan odaugranak, mintha kérdeznék: nem mi vagyunk? Ilyenkor elhessegetem őket emlékezetem arcáról lelkem egy kézlegyintésével, míg csak ki nem tisztul és elém nem jön rejtekéről az, amit keresek."
