"I can confidently say that after studying the Hungarian language for years, I became convinced that if Hungarian had been my mother tongue, my life's work would have been much more valuable. Simply because in this strange, ancient language swelling with ancient power, it is possible to describe the tiny differences, the secret vibrations of emotions many times more precisely.
