"To influence someone is to give them our own soul. The person does not think natural thoughts and does not burn with natural passion. His virtues are not his virtues. His sins, if there are sins, he only borrowed. He will be an echo of someone else's music, an actor in a role that was not written for him.

""Befolyásolni valakit annyi, mint odaadni neki tulajdon lelkünket. Az illető nem természetes gondolatait gondolja és nem is természetes szenvedélytől lángol. Erényei nem az ő erényei. Bűneit, ha vannak bűnök, csak kölcsönkapta. Visszhangja lesz valaki más zenéjének, egy szerep színésze, melyet nem az ő számára írtak."
