„Az értelemből három dolog fakad: a helyes gondolkodás, a helyes beszéd, és a helyes cselekvés.”
„Jól írni majdnem ugyanaz volt, mint jól gondolkodni, és a jó gondolkodás volt a következő dolog a jó cselekvés mellett.”

Writing well was almost the same as thinking well, and thinking well was the next thing to acting well.
Forrás: The Magic Mountain (1924), Ch. 4
Kontextus: Writing well was almost the same as thinking well, and thinking well was the next thing to acting well. All moral discipline, all moral perfection derived from the soul of literature, from the soul of human dignity, which was the moving spirit of both humanity and politics. Yes, they were all one, one and the same force, one and the same idea, and all of them could be comprehended in one single word... The word was — civilization!
