"Anyone who stands in front of me and wants to grasp it with his words, tries to express the person in a logical presentation, in my eyes is similar to the child who, settling at the foot of Atlas, wants to carry away the mountain with a bucket and a shovel. Man is what he is, not what words express.

Anyone who stands in front of me and wants to grasp it with his words, tries to express the person in a logical presentation, in my eyes is similar to the child who, settling at the foot of Atlas, wants to carry away the mountain with a bucket and a shovel. Man is what he is, not what words express.
""Aki elém áll, és szavaival akarja megragadni, logikus előadásban próbálja kifejezni az embert, az én szememben ahhoz a gyermekhez hasonló, aki az Atlas lábához telepedve vedrével, lapátjával akarja elhordani a hegyet. Az ember az, ami, nem pedig az, amit a szavak fejeznek ki."
