الإنسان كالكسر الذي بسطه ما هو عليه، ومقامه ما يظنّه بنفسه. وكلّما عظُم المقام صغُر الكسر.

“A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.”Leo Tolstoy — Leo Tolstoy: Spiritual Writings (2006)
