"I have become old, I am alone a lot, but I take it well, with my head held high, with a little pride; believe me, youth is harder to bear than old age, when one has no choice. But the hardest thing to endure is that old age that deceives itself with youth.

I have become old, I am alone a lot, but I take it well, with my head held high, with a little pride; believe me, youth is harder to bear than old age, when one has no choice. But the hardest thing to endure is that old age that deceives itself with youth.
""Öreg lettem, sokat vagyok egyedül, de ezt is jól viselem, emelt fővel, egy kis büszkeséggel; hidd el, nehezebb elviselni az ifjúságot, mint az öregséget, amikor már nincs választása az embernek. De a legnehezebb kibírni azt az öregséget, mely fiatalsággal áltatja magát."
