"What trifles often excite, unsettle, and torment us! We believe that the axis of the world is turned from its corner. However, if the same thing happens to someone else, we see it as a trifle. Even our own excitement, if we had written it down from childhood, reading it today... In the infinity of time, everything that we see as big today becomes dwarfed.

What trifles often excite, unsettle, and torment us! We believe that the axis of the world is turned from its corner. However, if the same thing happens to someone else, we see it as a trifle. Even our own excitement, if we had written it down from childhood, reading it today... In the infinity of time, everything that we see as big today becomes dwarfed.
""Micsoda semmiségek izgatnak, nyugtalanítanak, kínoznak sokszor bennünket! Véljük, hogy a világ tengelye kifordul a sarkából. Pedig ha ugyanaz mással történik, csekélységnek látjuk. Sőt a magunk izgalmai is, ha feljegyezgettük volna gyermekkorunktól kezdve, ma olvasva... Az idő végtelenségében minden eltörpül, amit ma nagynak látunk."
