English

Translation 1

It is not the interest of the other person that is decisive, but our own, that is, to create interest, which can only happen, but it happens without fail, if we ourselves are fundamentally interested in a subject, if we talk about it, willingly or not, to others we also involve them, as it were, we infect them with our interest, so we create an interest that did not exist until then, that was never suspected, which is worth much more than if we please the already existing one.

Hungarian

Translation 2
Nem a másiknak az érdeklődése a döntő, hanem a magunké, vagyis az, hogy érdeklődést keltsünk, ami csakis akkor történhet, de akkor viszont föltétlenül meg is történik, ha bennünket magunkat alapvetően érdekel valamely tárgy, ha tehát róla beszélünk, akarva, nem akarva másokat is körébe vonunk, mintegy megfertőzzük őket érdeklődésünkkel, tehát eladdig, nem létező, sosem sejtett érdeklődést kreálunk, ami sokkal többet ér, mint hogyha a már meglévőnek kedvében járunk.
