    le but de la vie n'est pas d'être du côté de la majorité, mais d'éviter de se retrouver dans les rangs des aliénés.

    az élet célja nem a többség oldalán tartózkodni, hanem az, hogy elkerülje magát az őrült sorában.

    lo scopo della vita non è quello di stare dalla parte della maggioranza, ma di sfuggire al ritrovarsi tra le fila dei pazzi.

    obiectum est maioris partis non nisi ordines repe- rire fugere dementiae.

    het doel van het leven is niet om aan de kant van de meerderheid te staan, maar om te ontsnappen aan het vinden van jezelf in de gelederen van krankzinnigen.

    цель жизни не в том, чтобы быть на стороне большинства, а в том, чтобы не оказаться в рядах безумцев.

    livets syfte är inte att vara på majoritetens sida, utan att undvika att hitta sig själv i den galna raden.
