"...the most general and greatest concepts..."

But, although they
[i.e., the most general and greatest concepts]
may not have meaning,
they do make sense,
and it is very sensible
to awaken this sense from
time to time.

Robert Musil
Derr Mann ohne Eigenschaften -
'The Man without Qualities'
(first book), 1924
(translation by Jelke van der Pal)
