Querido padre: Me preguntaste una vez por que afirmaba yo que te tengo miedo. Como de costumbre, no supe que contestar, en parte, justamente por el miedo que te tengo, y en parte porque en los fundamentos de ese miedo entran demasiados detalles como para que pueda mantenerlos reunidos en el curso de una conversacion. Y, aunque intente ahora contestarte por escrito, mi respuesta sera, no obstante, muy incomprensible, porque tambien al escrib..

Cara signora Milena, la giornata e molto breve, con Lei e soltanto con qualche altra inezia e bell'e passata e terminata. E' molto se rimane un po' di tempo per scrivere alla vera Milena perche quella ancor piu vera era qui tutto il giorno nella camera, sul balcone, nelle nuvole.

But please, father, understand me correctly: these were completely insignificant details, yet they oppressed me, because you, a great man of authority, could lay down rules for me, and ignore them. And through this I saw that the world was divided into three parts: in the first lived the slave, me, under laws invented solely for my life but to which, without understanding why, I could never fully adjust; and in the second part lived you, i..

I was making for that city in the south of which it was said in our village: "There you'll find queer folk! Just think, they never sleep!" "And why not?" "Because they never get tired." "And why not?" "Because they're fools." "Don't fools get tired?" "How could fools get tired!"---Children on a Country Road, Contemplation."

He accepted it as a fundamental principle for an accused man to be always forearmed, never to let himself be caught napping, never to let his eyes stray unthinkingly to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--and against that very principle he kept offending again and again.

His wounds, incidentally, must have healed up by now, he felt no handicap anymore, which was astonishing; for, as recalled, after he had nicked his finger with a knife over a month ago, the injury had still been hurting the day before yesterday. "Am I less sensitive now?" he wondered, greedily sucking at the cheese, which had promptly exerted a more emphatic attraction on him than any of the other food. His eyes watered with contentment as ..

All he wanted to do now was to get up quietly and undisturbed, get dressed, and, most important, eat breakfast, and only then consider what to do next, because, as he was well aware, in bed he could never think of anything through to a reasonable conclusion.

First of all, I am delighted that you are a vegetarian at heart. I don't like strict vegetarians all that much, because I too am almost a vegetarian, and see nothing particularly likable about it, just something natural, and those who are good vegetarians in their hearts, but, for reasons of health, from indifference, or simply because they underrate food as such, eat meat or whatever happens to be on the table, casually, with their left ha..

Lo raro es que, cuando uno se despierta por la manana, por lo menos en lineas generales vuelve a encontrar las cosas en el mismo estado en que estaban por la noche. Sin embargo, durante el sueno uno se ha encontrado, por lo menos en apariencia, en un estado esencialmente distinto de la vigilia y hace falta una infinita presencia de animo, o mejor dicho, de presteza para cogerlo todo, al abrir los ojos, por asi decir en el mismo punto en que..

No es necesario que salgas de casa. Quedate a tu mesa y escucha. Ni siquiera escuches, espera solamente. Ni siquiera esperes, quedate completamente solo y en silencio. El mundo llegara a ti para hacerse desenmascarar, no puede dejar de hacerlo, se prosternara extatico a tus pies.

The only thing I can do now," he said to himself, and his thought was confirmed by the equal length of his own steps with the steps of the two others, "the only thing I can do now is keep my common sense and do what's needed right till the end. I always wanted to go at the world and try and do too much, and even to do it for something that was not too cheap. That was wrong of me. Should I now show them I learned nothing from facing trial fo..

For example, my choice of career. You generously and patiently gave me complete freedom. Though this followed the habits, or at least the values, of the Jewish middle class concerning their sons. And here your misunder-standing of my character worked its effect, which - together with your father's pride - blinded you to my real nature: to my weakness. In your opinion, I was always studying as a child, and later I was always writing. Lo..

My dear parents," said the sister banging her hand on the table by way of an introduction, "things cannot go on any longer in this way. Maybe if you don't understand that, well, I do. I will not utter my brother's name in front of this monster, and thus I say only that we must try to get rid of it. We have tried what is humanly possible to take care of it and to be patient. I believe that no one can criticize us in the slightest."
