"

However, our will plays a small role in waiting; we wait even if we don't want to; as a result of the situational power of our actions, we persist even when the meaning has passed, and we wait aimlessly for a while. Vain peeping, foolish standing - who doesn't know it? - when we uselessly waste our precious time, staring at something that has disappeared once and for all. And yet we stubbornly wait for it back. We don't know why we're still standing where we are, but we wouldn't move for the world. What we started with zeal, we continue with patience. Excruciating tenacity, tiring you to death.

Hungarian

"A várakozásban azonban akaratunknak csekély szerep jut; várunk ha nem akarjuk is; tetteink helyzeti ereje következtében még akkor is kitartunk, amikor értelme elmúlt, s céltalanul is várunk egy ideig. Hiábavaló leskelődés, ostoba álldogálás - ki nem ismeri? - amikor hasztalanul vesztegetjük értékes időnket, olyasmi után bámulva, ami egyszer s mindenkorra eltűnt. És mi mégis makacsul visszavárjuk. Nem tudjuk, miért állunk még mindig ott, ahol állunk, de nem mozdulnánk a világért sem. Amit buzgalommal kezdtünk, türelemmel folytatjuk. Gyötrő szívósság, holtra fáraszt."
