Opphavleg tekst:
«A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid which evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imagination adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the Earth's rocks, and in its composition we see the secrets of the universe's age, and the evolution of stars. What strange arrays of chemicals are in the wine? How did they come to be? There are the ferments, the enzymes, the substrates, and the products. There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation. Nobody can discover the chemistry of wine without discovering, as did Louis Pasteur, the cause of much disease. How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts — physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on — remember that Nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!»

| dikting universet vin allting |
«Ein diktar sa ein gong ‘Heile universet er i eit glas vin’. Me vil truleg aldri vita kva han meinte med det, for diktarar skriv ikkje for å bli forstått. Men det er sant at om me ser nøye nok på eit glas vin, ser me heile universet.»

«A modern democracy is a tyranny whose borders are undefined; one discovers how far one can go only by travelling in a straight line until one is stopped.»

| demokrati tyranni grenser |
«Eit moderne demokrati er eit tyranni der grensene er udefinerte. Ein finn ut kor langt ein kan gå berre ved å reisa i ei strak linje til ein blir stoppa.»
