If with open mind one reads and observes industriously and long; if in so doing one covers a wide field and so covering reflects in terms of realism, he is likely, soon or late, to be brought to a sudden consciousness that Man is an unknown quantity and his existence unsuspected.

如果一个人以开放的心态，勤奋而长久地阅读和观察;如果一个人这样做涵盖了一个广阔的领域，而这样的涵盖反映了现实主义，那么他可能很快或迟些时候会突然意识到，人是一个未知数，他的存在是不被怀疑的。
