"There is a right greater and more ancient than all human rights, by virtue of which the heart can and does only go after love, and if it ceases to love, it commits the most hideous breach of faith, although often as innocently as the lamp goes out when the fire burns out of it.

There is a right greater and more ancient than all human rights, by virtue of which the heart can and does only go after love, and if it ceases to love, it commits the most hideous breach of faith, although often as innocently as the lamp goes out when the fire burns out of it.
""Van nagyobb és ősibb juss is minden emberi jognál, amelynek erejénél fogva a szív csak a szerelem után mehet, és megy is, s ha megszűnik szeretni, azzal a legrútabb hitszegést követi el, ámbár gyakorta oly ártatlanul, amilyen ártatlanul aluszik el a lámpa, ha kiég belőle a tűz."
