“If I were a woman, and had to choose between the two of us, I too would have chosen you without hesitation and Erzi surely loves you for being just the sort of person you are – so utterly withdrawn and abstracted that you have no real relationship with anybody or anything, like someone from another planet, a Martian on earth, someone who never really notices anything . . . who never pays proper attention when others speak, who often seems to act out of vague goodwill and politeness as if playing at being human.” Antal Szerb in Journey by Moonlight
