Sandor Marai Quotes

A Man Who Has Signed Away His Soul And His Fate To Solitude Is Incapable Of Faith. He Can Only Wait. For The Day Or The Hour When He Can Talk About Everything That Forced Him Into Solitude With The Man Or Men Who Forced Him Into That Condition. He Prepares Himself For That Monument For Ten Or Forty Or Forty-one Years The Way One Prepares For A Duel. He Brings His Affairs Into Order In Case He Dies In The Duel. And He Practices Every Day, As Professional Duelists Do. And What Weapon Does He Practice With? With His Memories, So That He Will Not Allow Solitude And Time To Cloudd His Sight And Weaken His Heart And His Soul. There Is One Duel In Life, Fought Without Sabers, That Nonetheless Is Worth Preparing For With All One's Strength. And It Is The Most Dangerous. And One Day The Moment Comes.
