Jacob Riis Zitate

I'd look at one of my stonecutters hammering away at the rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet, at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I knew it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

Doch beim ersten Schlag würde es sich in zwei Hälften teilen, und ich wusste, dass es nicht dieser Schlag war, der es tat, sondern alles, was vorher gegangen war.
