"Why is there time? Why is it always just this idiot one after the other, and why is there no bubbly, filling simultaneity? (...) A person can enjoy and create throughout this fleeting life, but he always sings song after song, and the whole, complete symphony never sounds together with all its voices and instruments.

Why is there time? Why is it always just this idiot one after the other, and why is there no bubbly, filling simultaneity? (...) A person can enjoy and create throughout this fleeting life, but he always sings song after song, and the whole, complete symphony never sounds together with all its voices and instruments.
""Miért van idő? Miért mindig csak ez az idióta egymásután, s miért nincs pezsgő, laktató egyidejűség? (...) E röpke életen át élvezhet, alkothat az ember, de mindig csak dalt dal után dalol, s az egész, teljes szimfónia sosem csendül fel egyszerre összes hangjával és hangszerével együtt."
