"The course and events of our individual lives, in terms of their true meaning and connection, can be compared to rougher mosaic works. As long as we stand directly in front of them, we do not really recognize the depicted objects, and we do not notice either their importance or their beauty: both are visible only at a certain distance.

The course and events of our individual lives, in terms of their true meaning and connection, can be compared to rougher mosaic works. As long as we stand directly in front of them, we do not really recognize the depicted objects, and we do not notice either their importance or their beauty: both are visible only at a certain distance.
""Egyéni életünk lefolyása és eseményei, igazi értelmüket és összefüggésüket tekintve, durvább mozaikművekhez hasonlíthatók. Ameddig közvetlenül ezek előtt állunk, nem igen ismerjük föl az ábrázolt tárgyakat, s nem vesszük észre sem jelentőségüket, sem szépségüket: mind a kettő csak bizonyos távolságban tűnik szembe."
