Quotes by George Langelaan (?)

“إن النساء يحسسن بالأشياء التي لا يمكن للرجال إلا افتراضها بالحجة والاستنتاج.إنه ضرب من المعرفة لا يتأتى لهم إلا لماما ويسمونه باستخفاف حدسا.”
― George Langelaan, Η μύγα

“لقد كان الرعب أكثر من قدرتي على الاحتمال،وغير متوقع.في الحقيقة،إنني متأكدة من أنني حتى لو كنت على علم بما كان سيجري،إلا أن وطء الرعب ما كان ليكون أقل قوة.وفي محاولة مني للضغط بكلتا يدي على فمي لأكتم صرخاتي بالرغم من أن أصابعي كانت تنزف دما،إلا أنني صرخت مرارا وتكرارا.لم يكن في مقدوري رفع عيني عنه،ولم يكن في مقدوري حتى إغماضهما،ومع ذلك كنت أعلم بأنني لو أطلت النظر إلى مصدر الرعب أكثر فإنني سأستمر في الصراخ طيلة ما بقي لي من حياة.”
