Beiweitem gilt das natürlich nicht von allen, aber es gilt von vielen, und die, welche Ulrich kennen lernte, als er zum erstenmal den Dienst in einem Fabrikbüro antrat, waren so, und die, die er beim zweitenmal kennen lernte, waren auch so. Sie zeigten sich als Männer, die mit ihren Reißbrettern fest verbunden waren, ihren Beruf liebten und in ihm eine bewundernswerte Tüchtigkeit besaßen; aber den Vorschlag, die Kühnheit ihrer Gedanken statt auf ihre Maschinen auf sich selbst anzuwenden, würden sie ähnlich empfunden haben wie die Zumutung, von einem Hammer den widernatürlichen Gebrauch eines Mörders zu machen. (Musil, MoE, Kap. 10)
