English (Source)

Hungarian

Mind csupán egy matematikai ponthoz viszonyítva vagyunk bölcsek, mint ahogyan a hajós vagy a szökött rabszolga a sarkcsillagra függeszti szemét; de ez elegendő irányítás egész életünkre. Talán nem érünk révbe kiszámítható időn belül, de mindenesetre megmaradunk a helyes irányban.
