It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them.

  • -- Robert Musil 罗伯特·穆齐尔

总而言之或总而言之,可能性总是相同的,它们不断地重复着,直到一个不把现实看得比思想更重要的人出现为止。他首先赋予新的可能性以意义和方向,然后唤醒它们。
