"There is no road more hopeless than that which leads to perfection; every step opens up to new, unfathomable distances: and one is horrified at the sight of these horizons and knows that one must not back down, nor rest, because one will fall.

There is no road more hopeless than that which leads to perfection; every step opens up to new, unfathomable distances: and one is horrified at the sight of these horizons and knows that one must not back down, nor rest, because one will fall.
"Hungarian
"Nincs reménytelenebb út, mint amely a tökéletességhez vezet; minden lépés új, beláthatatlan messzeségekre nyílik: s az ember elszörnyed e távlatok láttán és tudja, hogy nem szabad meghátrálni, sem megpihenni, mert lezuhan."
