English (Source)

Let the dead past bury its dead. That's what the saying goes, but it would only be really good if the past really died. One of the tragicomic blessings that every new age denies is that the past lives steadfastly on, no matter how often the new age appears to claim the never-before.

Hungarian

Hadd temesse el a halott múlt a maga halottait. Így szól a mondás, mely azonban csak akkor lenne igazán jó, ha a múlt csakugyan meghalna. Azoknak a tragikomikus áldásoknak, amelyeket minden új kor megtagad, egyike az is, hogy a múlt állhatatosan tovább él, bármilyen hetykén is lép színre az új kor, hogy a még-soha-nem volt igényét harsogtassa.
