"Néha azt hiszem, a szeretetre várok. Valószínűleg csillapíthatatlan ez az éhség: aki egyszer belekóstolt, holtáig ízlelni szeretné. Közben már megtudtam, hogy szeretetet kapni nem lehet; mindig csak adni kell, ez a módja. Megtudtam azt is, hogy semmi sem nehezebb, mint a szeretetet kifejezni. A költőknek sem sikerült soha, a költőknek, akik az érzelmek és indulatok minden árnyalatát rögzíteni tudják szavaikban. A szeretetnek nincs színfoka, mint a gyöngédségnek, nincs hőfoka, mint a szerelemnek. Tartalmát nem lehet szavakban közölni; ha kimondják, már hazugság. A szeretetben csak élni lehet, mint a fényben vagy a levegőben."
Márai Sándor: December- részlet
Sometimes I think that I am waiting for love. This is probably an eternal hunger: If someone has already tasted it, he wants to taste until his death. Meanwhile, I have already learnt that it is impossible to get love; we should always give it. I know that nothing is more difficult than expressing love. Even poets could not do that who are able to record in words all the shades of feelings and emotions.
Love does not have colours like tenderness has, and it does not have temperature like that kind of love has what a man feels for a woman.
Its content can not be said, if they say it is immediately a lie.
We can only live in love just like we do in light or in the air.
Márai Sándor: December - citation
Now I can say that love is the taste I've never known - and not even want to know (at least not yet). It maybe sounds wierd, but I've never said I'm a normal person :).
VálaszTörlésIt's nice to be back here after a while.
I want to give love to the one who does not know what it is. She may know but does not wan to accept and show it. I am speaking about my mother now.
TörlésI try to do a lot for her to feel a kind of love and security!!!, but if someone does not want to, it is a mission impossible. We are responsible for our feelings.
There is always something in the background and I think I know what it is.
It does not sound wierd that you write, you may know the reason and that is important.
I missed you from my blog! :-)
Thanks for your coming back.
In Hungarian there are two different words for love: "szeretet" and "szerelem".
Törlés"Szeretet" (agape) that is selfless, Jesus could feel it.
"Szerelem" is between a man and a woman based on sexuality.
The citation from the thoughts of a Hungarian writer is about szeretet( agape), that is a human, altruistic feeling...
