One may speak about anything on earth with fire, with enthusiasm, with ecstasy, but one only speaks about oneself with avidity.

One may speak about anything on earth with fire, with enthusiasm, with ecstasy, but one only speaks about oneself with avidity.

一个人在谈论地球上的任何事情时，都可以带着热情，带着狂喜，但只有一个人在谈论自己时才带着贪婪。
