Insan bazen o kadar kendi disinda davranir ki, size '' Bunu yapmis olamaz. Karakterine aykiri, dedirtir. Belki de degildir. Yalnizca baska bir aci soz konusu olabilir veya yukaridan asagidan gelen baskilar kisinin davranis seklini degistirebilir.

I know this - a man got to do what he got to do, I can't tell you. I don't think they's luck or bad luck. On'y one thing in the worl' I'm sure of, an' that's I'm sure nobody got a right to mess with a fella's life. He got to do it all hisself, Help im, maybe, but not tell him what to do.

And now they were weary and frightened because they had gone against a system they did not understand and it had beaten them. They knew that the team and the wagon were worth much more. They knew the buyer man would get much more, but they didn't know how to do it. Merchandising was a secret to them.

The thing that give me the mos' trouble was, it didn't make no sense. You don't look for no sense when lightnin' kill a cow, or it comes up a lood. That's jus' the way things is. But when a bunch of men take an' lock you up four years, it ought to have some meaning. Men is supposed to think things out. Here they put me in an' keep me an' feed me four years. That ought to either make me so I won't do her again or else punish me so I'll be af..

It is not true as is romantically presumed that people frightened or injured or persecuted are wakeful. More often than not they retire into sleep to be free of trouble for a time.

It was strange to Old Robert that he, who knew so much more than his neighbors, who had pondered so endlessly, should be not even a good farmer. Sometimes he imagined he understood too many things ever to do anything well.

Gli scrittori di oggi, e ci sono anch'io fra quelli, hanno la tendenza a mettere in risalto l'avvilimento dello spirito, e Dio solo sa quanto spesso la cosa avvenga. Ma quando, qualche volta, questo non succede, e come se si accendesse un faro davanti a noi. E a tale proposito voglio dedicare un momento per spiegare come stanno le cose. A dispetto dei sorrisini provenienti dai sudisti della "Cintura delle Nevrosi" e dagli scrittori , sono ..

The martinis came, not in little glasses but big as bird baths with twists of lemon peel. The first taste bit like a vampire bat, made its little anesthesia, and after that the drink mellowed and toward the bottom turned downright good.

Le donne guardavano gli uomini, li guardavano per capire se stavolta sarebbero crollati. Le donne guardavano e non dicevano niente. E quando gli uomini erano in gruppo, la paura spariva dai loro volti e la rabbia prendeva il suo posto. E le donne sospiravano di sollievo, perche capivano che andava tutto bene: il crollo non c'era stato; e non ci sarebbe mai stato nessun crollo finche la paura fosse riuscita a trasformarsi in furore. Piccoli ..

A luz do crepusculo fazia brilhar a terra vermelha, de maneira que as suas dimensoes se aprofundavam. Uma pedra, um poste, uma construcao adquiriam mais profundidade e mais consistencia entao do que a luz do dia; e todos esses objetos se tornavam estranhamente mais individuais: um poste era mais essencialmente um poste; elevava-se com mais firmeza da terra e destacava-se melhor do campo de milho que lhe servia de fundo. E as plantas adqui..

Forse possiamo cominciare daccapo, in una terra nuova e ricca - in California, dove cresce la frutta. Cominceremo da capo. Ma noi non possiamo cominciare. Solo i neonati possono cominciare. Tu e io... be', noi siamo quello ch'e stato. La rabbia di un momento, le mille immagini, questo siamo. Questa terra, questa terra rossa, e noi; e gli anni di carestia e gli anni di polvere e gli anni d'inondazione siamo noi. Non possiamo cominciare dacc..

Os pequenos fazendeiros observam como as dividas sobem insensivelmente, como o crescer da mare. Cuidaram das arvores sem vender a colheita, podaram e enxertaram e nao puderam colher as frutas. Este pequeno pomar, para o ano que vem, pertencera a uma grande companhia, pois o proprietario sera sufocado por dividas. Este parreiral passara a ser propriedade do banco. Apenas os grandes proprietarios podem subsistir, visto que tambem possuem fabr..

Erano affamati, ed erano agguerriti. Avevano sperato di trovare un focolare, e trovarono solo odio. Okie: i proprietari li odiavano, perche i proprietari si sapevano fiacchi mentre gli Okie erano forti, si sapevano sazi mentre gli Okie erano affamati; e forse i proprietari avevano saputo dai loro nonni quanto sia facile rubare la terra a uomo fiacco quando sei agguerrito e affamato e armato.

Un delitto cosi abietto che trascende la comprensione. Una piaga che nessun pianto potrebbe descrivere. Un fallimento che annienta ogni nostro successo. La terra e feconda i fiori sono ordinati, i tronchi sono robusti, la frutta e matura. E i bambini affetti da pellagra devono morire perche da un'arancia non si riesce a cavare profitto. E i coroner devono scrivere sui certificati "morto per denutrizione" perche il cibo deve marcire, va cost..
