Kan iemand mij helpen met het vertalen van de volgende motto's:
I do not know what I may appear
to the world, but to myself I seem
to have been only like a boy
playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst
the great ocean of truth lay all
undiscovered before me.
Sir Isaac Newton
I imagine, sometimes, that if a
film could be made of one’s life,
every other frame would be death.
It goes so fast we’re not aware of
it. Destruction and resurrection
in alternate beats of being, but
speed makes it seem continuous.
But you see, kid, with ordinary
consciousness you can’t even
begin to know what’s happening.
Saul Bellow, The Dean’s December
