"

Man is the master of time, which is life itself, only if he divides it into hours, minutes and seconds, i.e. into pieces proportional to the brevity of human existence. Life seems so short in our eyes only because we recklessly measure it against our foolish hopes.

"

Hungarian

"Az ember csak akkor ura az időnek, ami maga az élet, ha órákra, percekre és másodpercekre, azaz az emberi lét rövidségével arányos darabkákra tagolja. Az élet csak azért tűnik olyan kurtának a szemünkben, mert meggondolatlan módon balga reményeinkhez mérjük."
