“Kuin myyrä hän kaivoi itselleen teitä hämärien teoriojen lävitse, ja kun päätä huimasi ja ruumis tuntui väsähtäneeltä rasittavan henkisen työn tähden, niin hän sanoi itsekseen: Hänen viimeinen toiveensa ei saa häätyä häpeään!”
Hermann Sudermann, Frau Sorge: Roman (Sammlung Zenodot)

“We crave for the good opinion of the world, in which we don't believe, and tremble in face of its condemnation, which we despise and condemn in our hearts.”
Hermann Sudermann, Regina or the Sins of the Fathers
