"Ha sok cseresznyepaprikát madzagra fűzünk, abból lesz a paprikakoszorú.
Ha viszont nem fűzzük fel őket, nem lesz belőlük koszorú.
Pedig a paprika ugyanannyi, éppoly piros, éppoly erős. De mégse koszorú.
Csak a madzag tenné? Nem a madzag teszi. Az a madzag, mint tudjuk, mellékes, harmadrangú valami.
Hát akkor mi?
Aki ezen elgondolkozik, s ügyel rá, hogy gondolatai ne kalandozzanak összevissza, hanem helyes irányban haladjanak, nagy igazságoknak jöhet a nyomára."

Örkény István: Az élet értelme

Idézet

"If we tie a lot of cherry-peppers on a string, they'll make a pepper-wreath.

However, if we don't tie them on a string, they won't make a wreath. Although it's the same amount of peppers, just as red and just as hot. But still no wreath.

Does it only lie in the string? No, it doesn't. That string, as we all know, is an incidental, third-rate thing.

Then what?

People capable of brooding over it and taking care not to let their mind wander about, but keep them on the right track may get a scent of eternal verities."
