"Jika seseorang melihat pagar di satu sisi kebunnya dan mengamati bahwa tetangga di sebelah kirinya telah meletakkan jalan kebunnya di sekitar halaman tengah; dan harus melihat pagar di sisi lain kebunnya dan mengamati bahwa tetangga di sebelah kanannya telah meletakkan jalannya di tengah-tengah halaman, dan kemudian meletakkan jalan kebunnya sendiri secara diagonal dari satu sudut ke sudut yang lain, Jiwa orang itu akan hilang. Orisinalitas hanya dipuji ketika tidak diawali oleh tampilan ke kanan dan kiri."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

If a man were to look over the fence on one side of his garden and observe that the neighbor on his left had laid his garden path round a central lawn; and were to look over the fence on the other side of his garden and observe that the neighbor on his right had laid his path down the middle of the lawn, and were then to lay his own garden path diagonally from one corner to the other, that man's soul would be lost. Originality is only to be praised when not prefaced by the look to right and left.
