"The most distrustful people in the world", the 100 most beautiful
Faik Konica

1. Harsh, rough, like the powerful people who speak it, but also full of taste and charm, like the fruits and flowers of the mountain where it is spoken, the Albanian language - although impoverished by many centuries of immobility - is capable of expressing , with a wonderful sense, the nuances, the subtlest and sharpest conceptions of human thought. (Albania 1, 1897).

2. Albanians love first of all the light of the mind and the sun. (Albania 8, 1897).

3. Only Albanians have such a strong sense of beauty that they pay with their lives for the pleasure of being the lightning among those human storms of war. (Albania 3, 1897).

4. The rebirth of our language is the rebirth of our national life. (Albania 8, 1897).

5. The Albanian language is as muscular as it is fragile. (Albania 12, 1898).

6. We Albanians have to work a lot, today and soon; but above all, let us grow love and brotherhood among us. (Albania 2, 1897).

7. Economic improvement is the fastest and most urgent need for our country. It is therefore an urgent task that the economic interests of Albania precede any assessment of the political character. (Albania 16, July 15-30, 1898).

8. The national feeling has strong roots in Albanian hearts; and although in any case, the inconsistency and lack of understanding of the Albanians almost discourage us and discourage all their true friends, it must be admitted that they do not lack national feeling, but they lack that peeled consciousness, so necessary for progress. (Albania B, no. 2, 14, 15-30 June 1898).

9. Those who would like to saturate the Albanians with rhetoric, instead of wishing for their intellectual development, give the clearest proof of their enmity towards the Albanians. (Albania 16, July 15-30, 1898).

10. The misery of Albanians has always been attached to individuals and not to ideas... The history of Albania is full of such similar evidence. Let's try with all our strength to heal Albanians from love for individuals. They must learn to love Albania - not to please this or that Albanian. (Albania 16, July 15-30, 1898).

11. Honxhobonxho Albanians are terrible for their cruelty and capriciousness. (Albania10, February 28, 1898).

12. The Albanian looks like he was made to be the toy of an eternal deception; a painful fatality hangs over this wretched people. (Albania 15-30 January 1899 C).

13. Our responsibility towards the country is undeniable: we will suffer with Albania's sufferings, we will rejoice with its joys. (Albania 15-30 January 1899 C).

14. The ideal solution would be for Albanians to eradicate oriental influences once and for all, cutting off any religious, moral or literary ties, either with the Byzantines or with the Turks. However, it would be nice if this happened instantly. The solution would be feasible if our ancestors had prepared it for us in time; then we will have to prepare this solution for our future grandchildren. (Albania 2, 1907).

15. Rising above impotent selfishness and fruitless personal grudges, let's lower our heads and work for the formation of an Albania where the evil-doing meanness of our hereditary enemies gives way to the justice and honesty of our forefathers. Boll pruning branches at will, and with a cold but ruthless determination, let us strike the final blow at the roots of evil. (Albania 12, 1909).

16. How much stupidity, how much meanness and crimes have been committed in the name of poor Albania! (Albania 4, 1907).

17. The desire for revenge is the most powerful spring of the Albanian soul. (Albania 4, 1907).

18. A Latin saying of the Middle Ages, slightly changed: Homo homini lupus – Man to man is a wolf. Femina feminae lupior – Woman to woman is more wolfish. Albanus Albano lupissimus – The Albanian for the Albanian is quite a wolf [wolf gone wolf]. (Albania, June 1902, no. 5).

19. Our popular literature has been preserved and transmitted only by women and children and could only take the naive form of their language. (Albania 1, 1905).

20. Left without religious unity, the only bond that has kept Albanians united has been language. (Albania 4, 1906).

21. Turkish Turks remain; young or old, they are, as the popular Latin expression eiusdem farinœ [of the same dough] says. In all empires that have existed or exist, generous minds have been found in the ruling nation to protect the subjugated nations. But can even a single word of a single Turk in favor of Albania be mentioned since four centuries? This word would indeed deserve in this case to be inscribed on a bronze plaque and hung on the walls of our popular clubs as a relic of curiosity. The Turks deny us even those qualities that foreign observers unanimously accept... The Turks defeated us, but did not succeed in defeating us, even after they imposed their Muhammad on us. (Albania 121, no. 12, 1909).

22. Albanians are the most distrustful people in the world. (Memory for the Albanian national movement).

23. Nothing cools the Albanians more than telling them that they are dealing with a piece of ignorance that leads them. (Memory for the Albanian national movement).

24. The Albanian people are quite sharp in understanding. (Memory for the Albanian national movement).

25. The Greeks abuse the disdainful silence of the Albanians who do not eat their stale and empty bones. (article "On Albania", Libre Parole).

26. Man is more evil than savages, but when I look at the Albanians of Istanbul, I feel like saying that he is more evil than snakes and rats. (Letter to N. Nacos, March 20, 1896).

27. My palla is the feather; that weak side I have, with that I try to serve the motherland. Fiunt scriptores nascuntur heroes [writers are made, heroes are born]. You who are brave, do the jatagan once for the honor of Albania (F. Konica, Work 1, p. 155).

28. The Albanian has a habit of objecting before understanding. (Work 1, p. 187).

29. He who does not understand progress, takes the limit of his mind for the limit of the world. (Work 1, p.198).

30. Albanians are a nation that likes to praise itself. As our mouths say, the Albanian nation is the first in terms of mind, behavior and bravery. If the Albanians were not the most intelligent nation, but simply an intelligent nation, they would have come out of the black day where they are in time. (Work 1, p. 271).

31. The bravery of the Albanian is not gold, it is tin... no matter how great in itself, it is small in the causes that ignite it. For a stolen child, for a crooked word, and many times without even knowing why, Albanians take up arms, jump, kill themselves. But, those people who are killed for interest and for fairy tales [dokrra], are invited and afraid in the will of bravery for some beautiful thought, for some real and general benefit... They are not afraid of the bullet, they are trembling from Valiu! true bravery is that which is put at the service of the Right and the Fatherland, at the service of the general good. Other jobs are jobs of cruelty and animality, not bravery. (Work 1, p. 271-272).

32. Albania is a blessed country with a thousand beauties, trampled by the crowd which harbors a certain hatred towards beauty. (Acts 2, 34).

Shkodra is almost the most interesting place in Albania today, its goldsmiths and other workers are famous throughout Southern and Eastern Europe... Albanians are known for individuality and there are varieties and colors in their national costume. Almost every province has its own special costumes. (Albania, 1930).

34. Know that we, in the eyes of civilized Europe, are backward, and nothing more; some insult us, some laugh at us, some feel sorry for the few. Give up, I tell you, because we have become palaces of the earth. Shut up, lay down, join in. The road that leads to honor, freedom and salvation is not paved with flowers, but with thorns; who reaches the top, arrives torn, sweaty, bloody; and when he reaches the peak, he falls dead from fatigue, but with the awareness that he opened a new path for the people. (Work, SH.BN Frashëri, p. 213).

35. Be men! Grab the pickaxes! Work is higher than bravery, the pickaxe nobler than the palace. And above all, keep quiet! Not words, but the pickaxe. Not the meeting, but the pickaxe. Not missions, but the pickaxe! And the plough, and the sickle, and the sieve, and the furnace. Enough praise. My heart is so full of tears that I can't cry. (F. Konica, Works, SH.BN Frashëri, p. 214).

36. The women of Tirana are great pranksters. (F. Konica, Works, SH.BN Frashëri, p. 317).

37. There are Albanians who act like real singers and get angry as soon as they hear someone else singing kokorikooo like them. Unfortunately, there are few chickens in Albania. Albanians with an honorable mind do not want and have never wanted someone who comes out and shouts: "I am!" The history of Albania is nothing but proof of what we say. (F. Konica, Works, 3, p. 63).

38. There is a place on the face of the earth where the cat is considered an honorable man; they open to make way for him when he passes; they hide it from the self-proclaimed judge, so that the self-proclaimed policeman can pretend to ask for it; even in the chisel some madman to take the side of the canon [law], they revile even the filth with a strange zeal. And that's why that country has gained a very ugly reputation in the world... Which country I'm talking about, you'll understand immediately when I tell you that it's not in the middle of Africa, but in Europe. (Work 3, p. 169).

39. Albania's enemies are the Albanians, not others. Albanians have written with their blood more than one page in the history of Europe. From the smallest riots to the bloodiest wars, the Albanian has taken out a bow, strung a fence or emptied a rifle. Is there anything more shameful, lower than the history of this nation that, for a little stinking ergent [money], sells human flesh in every war, even to whom no desire came from so many hundreds of years that they trample and strangers fornicate, did he have the desire to give two drops of blood for his own freedom? If Albanians want Albania's freedom, they easily do so; but they stand firm and thus prove that they do not love Albania, they prove that they are its enemies. (Albania 1, volume A, 1897).

40. I want to take the sword and split the heads of the donkeys, even instead of the brain, they will say this: what is freedom?... It is better to sell human manure than to write about the Albanians... what is freedom: Freedom is to a person can: 1. believe what his heart wants; 2. to say what his heart wants; 3. write what your heart desires; 4. to do what the heart wants, but not those that are against the freedom of another person. But Albanians, most of them are spiritual slaves... religion rules in their souls... Albanian brothers: Poor Albania has had enough of Kurmi's life. She should also start living the life of the mind now. The life of the mind is to open all our hearts, to speak fraternally against each other's words, to assemble as civilized people, who gather and fight with words [socially] for their ideas... this way we will know each other better, we will not have hidden thoughts, and we will UNDERSTAND that we are all connected by two golden bonds: the desire for the Truth and the desire for Albania. (Albania 2, April 25, 1897).

41. What does Muslimness or Christianity have to do with Albanianness? A Muslim should be a Muslim, a Christian a Christian; Yes, Albania belongs to all of us and it is everyone's duty to think and do what is best for it. (Albania 2, April 25, 1897).

42. Albanians are not divided into Christians and Mohammedans, they are divided into two sides: the side of the nationals, in which there are Albanians of all faiths, and the side of the villains. (Work 3, p. 75).

43. Albanians must be taught not to see the religion of man behind the patriot. (Work 3, p. 127).

44. We want to make an Albanian nation, and for this work we need the union of all the minorities of Albania with the Albanian majority. An Albanian who seems clean today cannot even boast that 1000 or 2000 years ago, his childhood was Albanian. Maybe yes, maybe not. We cannot go as far as Adam or Professor Haeckel's protists. Just as there are thousands and thousands of Slavized Albanians, there have also been people from other races who have been absorbed into the Albanian race. (Work 3, p. 136).

45. Seeing and listening, the world learns and is built. We Albanians cannot take lessons; the mountains shake and roll, we do not change our ways. Keep what I'm telling you: in a hundred years, regardless of how we're doing, we'll be as low as we are today. (Work 3, p. 15).

46. ​​The poor Albanians are waiting for Europe to come today or tomorrow to save them. It is necessary to say, to shout the truth: Europe has the Albanians as savages and to be lost... So let's say the truth, always the truth,... let's try to breathe a little life and a little courage into our people. (Work 3, p. 81).

47. Let's not waste time seeking union with those who try to fill their pockets, who mock the misery of the Albanian people and who have only one vice: profit, and one love: silver [money]. With these, not only does the union not take place, but it is also dangerous. … We must hit them relentlessly and mercilessly. A friendship with the lowly, we do not want. (Acts 3, 83).

48. We are a cold nation, where everyone thinks about himself... Those Albanians whom the world says are "wild", the Albanians of the mountains and forests, they are not cold, but on the contrary, they are Albanians good and they would be patriots if there were people to make them understand [make them aware]. (Work 3, p. 100).

49. The hot desire of women is a very rare disease in Albania: everyone has noticed that the Albanian nation can be called cold in this matter. (Work 3, p. 143).

50. Fear, when it is great, instead of defeating a person, strengthens and galvanizes his nerves, and the coward behaves (outwardly) like a true brave... Bravery, too, is not true bravery without fear: the brave without fear does not do any heavy, strange, valuable or meritorious work... Let's make our compatriots understand the multitude of forms of bravery. Bravery, the bravery of a warrior is not the only bravery... Every man who has the heart to act according to his thoughts, to combine deeds with words is brave... A form of bravery that we see every day is the bravery of women. The number of brave mothers is surprising - and perhaps few countries can boast of having as much bravery as Albania. (Work 3, 149-151).

51. The people are patient, but up to a point: and when they understand and get angry, their rage does ugly wonders. (Work 3, p. 181).

52. The court of the Gegs is to be noticed: in what other part of the world can you find barbarians raised in huts of bread and cheese, far from any citizenship, but with a shadow of princes in the midst of rags and nameless poverty that He covered them!... Anyone who remembers old Grandpa Gjon Lulin, can testify that this former, in his poverty and barbarism, was a perfect gentleman. (Work 3, p. 212-213).

53. Bloody and hungry jackals, biting and howling for a bone in Tirana..., in the past Albania before, they easily find their place: two paid people light a fire somewhere, - and in front of the sergerde with the materials! ... O-pig, the homeland is in danger! (Works, 3, p. 181).

54. Let's give the world a test of wisdom, let's make a new big step in the way of the paved government. (Work 3, p. 227).

55. A popular movement is known where and when it starts, but it is not known where and when it will end. In all of this, there remains a hope and a consolation: the hope that the people, who were persevering, will finally win everything; the consolation that the criminals of the sodomist governess will sooner or later (I believe sooner rather than later) receive the reward they deserve. (Work 3, p. 239-240).

56. Self-governance by the village elders is the characteristic, the most prominent sign of the social life of the Albanian nation. (Work 3, p. 243).

57. The intervention of the United States saved Albania; we escaped the tragedy of dismemberment: and President Wilson's open declaration in 1920, that Albania had the right to be independent and free, forced the Great Powers to agree to put an end to the Albanian question once again. (Work 3, p. 260).

58. In Albania, there was a strange craft, more vile than that of feather worshipers: the craft of feather washing... Many people have smelled carrion; and from every chip and from every color, they sort soul-slaves who hunger and thirst for meanness, leave their trade and, joining the feathers, become feathers themselves. Among these unexpected recruits, there are also some self-proclaimed "lawyers". (Work 3, p. 269).

59. A people that does not tolerate injustice, that does not give faith to charlatans, that insists on purity in the accounts [finances] and on evidence of skill in the officials, that people is well governed, either with a king at the head, or with a president. (Work 3, p. 290).

60. Slavery, like any other suffering, after it burdens the back for some time, finally becomes a well-liked habit, and those who carry it on the back of their necks bear it with joy. ... They not only do not understand what freedom means, they feel a certain hatred for the defenders of freedom and cherish the deepest respect for the expert tyrants of the rod and chain. (Work 3, p. 293).

61. States, like people, are born, grow and die, - and some die in infancy, from diseases or from accidents... If Albania - fatal word - dies, when can we, without slander, write these words in stone to her grave: It was resurrected by idealists, saved by chance, killed by politicians... Politicians are busy putting the pickaxe on Albania. (Work 3, p. 333).

62. That Albanians, in every step of political and social life, are attracted by details and never by essential thoughts, that Albanians remember that every change is progress - here are two facts that all observers of developments should have noticed. (Work 3, p. 335).

63. The canons [laws] made with the intention of alleviating the guilt of more or less powerful people and making most of the burden fall on the backs of the people, sometimes leave some salvation for the well builders. (Work 3, p. 342).

64. As long as the dark mentality that killing is an honest means remains unchanged, Albania will remain an African unit in the middle of Europe. (Work 3, p. 345).

65. For a country like Albania, surrounded by enemies, a prolonged civil war can be very dangerous. (Work 3, p. 347).

66. The fire in the hearth is so sacred that one of the most common oaths among Albanians is: for this fire. (F. Konica, Works, SH.BN Frashëri, p. 391).

67. The Albanian has in his soul a spirit of true art. This spirit appears in the colors that this people has chosen for their clothes and to decorate the houses where they live. These colors are black and white. Oscar Wilde thinks that combining white with black is a sign of noble taste. (Work 2, p. 68).

68. The [Illyrian-Albanian] nation of Diocletian, of the philosopher Julian, of Justinian, is a nation that had its own citizenry when the ancestors of the French and the English wore buffalo skins and lived in caves. (Work 2, p. 70).

69. The Levantines are a disease, a pus-filled head, that has emerged in the face of Albania. It can be said without fear of error that the ideal they strive to achieve is the ideal of the barbers of Istanbul. (Work 2, p. 71).

70. Albanians have a problem to solve: viewed by foreigners as a heavy, harsh, but noble people, for which an Englishman has said that it is a people full of "tragic dignity", today Albanians have become the laughing stock the world: The question is: Who is to blame for descending from tragedy to operetta? In my mind, the Levantines are most to blame. (Work 2, p 78).

71. What does Italy have that is worth taking? Pasta and camorre, nothing else. We don't need pasta, because we have our own potatoes; we have taken the chamber and, thank God, we have improved and arranged it with a more finished system than the Italians themselves. (Work 2, p. 111).

72. An undoubtedly unfortunate feature of Albanians and a very visible feature is the complete lack of idealism. In a country where people die so easily for nothing, it is unheard of to die for an ideal or a cause. It would take a long time to explain why Albania did not gain its freedom earlier. Acts of bravery and piety that have resulted in thousands of deaths could make my claim of lack of idealism seem false. But blind loyalty to ingrained traditions and the qibar canon of honor are almost mechanical acts, which do not mean that one risks one's life for a freely chosen ideal. (Work 2, 237).

73. Albanians are tolerant of other faiths and, perhaps, this is the only country in Europe where there have been no religious wars. (Work 2, p. 241).

74. The Albanian is very independent and very individualistic, he does not submit to the influence of anyone against his will. (Work 2, p. 279).

75. Here we have a very extraordinary face: Ahmed bey seems to me marked by Fate to play the greatest role in the history of Albania. That young man, in the midst of fire and war, betrayals, and dangers without number, succeeds in a few years to unite Albania, put it under the regulatory power of the Canon, tighten all weapons and take the plough, and today the young man sits on the throne of Skanderbeg. (Work 2, p. 40).

76. I despise King Zog for these reasons: I have never heard him speak a truth. He never kept his word. There is no sense of responsibility. It is dishonest, heartless, selfish, greedy. He hates all those who have anything, be it culture, ancestry, wealth, any ability in any field, or even raw but honest patriotism. He ignores the basics and gives a grotesque importance to gibberish. Albania has always been known as a nation with a certain tragic dignity; he has reduced Albania to the level of a worthless musical farce". (Work 2, p 325).

77. Ahmed Zogolli, an illiterate malok, without any spirit of idealism, had chosen Esad Pasha as his mirror and example, whom he imitated not only in external and internal intrigues, but even in the way he walked and spoke. He imitated him especially in the work of bribes. And as Esad, at one time, took from Italy, from Serbia and from Greece, so Ahmed Zogolli tried to take from three of those kingdoms at the same time. (Work 3, p. 312).

78. When a man starts a job, he must know that he will spoil the interest of some, and from these he can expect nothing but insults and slander... Letters without a signature [anonymous] have their place in the trash, words and slanders go and are forgotten - but the work remains. We are born in a land and oppressed by tyranny; liberty, the unity of interests of the past, the unity of interests of today, and the greater unity of interests of tomorrow, calls us to unite and work. We will find objections; but oppositions tire the weak and strengthen men. So let's be men, and forward! (Work 4, p. 115-116).

79. The sweetest and most loved place of a house should be the hearth, because around this the fraternity gathers to sit and gather. But sometimes, when it is kept lightly and not cleaned carefully, the hearth, instead of bringing them closer, pushes the people of the house away, because it smells bad. (Work 4, p. 227).

80. Here and there, in Albania, mistakes may have been made against the [natural] beauty - but on the other hand, how pleasant it is to see a people who wake up and get to work. Many foreigners write nonsense about Albania, because they have not known the country before and thus, they have nowhere to rely to measure the point reached today. (F. Konica, Works, SH.BN Frashëri, p. 229).

81. How good it is for a person when, after many years of being away, he steps again on the soil of his motherland; when he enters the house or the hut, it seems as if even the stones of the walls say "welcome" to him! (Work 1, p. 93).

82. Citizenship is the adornment of the mind and the burning desire for freedom. Let's walk with a titanium wheel to the beauty of thought. (Work 1, p. 94).

83. Freedom is to be one's own master, without any commander over one's head. (Work 1, p. 95).

84. Ah, longing for Albania, longing for the beloved homeland, holy longing and holy love, who is the Albanian who has not had it abroad! You have to be outside Albania, and be far away, to understand what strength and sweet beauty this word has for the ears: Albania! (Work 1, p. 103).

85. The flag sums up the past memories of a nation in an unwritten language that can be understood by the eye and heart of every sentient being. ((Work 1, p. 105).

86. Boys of Albania, the hope of the homeland, you who do not have blood cooled by suffering, nor brains dried up by interest, you must love the flag of your race, love it with depth and fire. Those who said that the young should learn from the elders were misguided. No. History tells us that elders always have something to learn from the young. The Albanian Djelmuri taught the Albanian Nation the religion of the Flag. (Work 1, p. 107).

87. You all know the one who "has seen the world, who is civilized"... he wets his hair with oil every day, wears "tights", holds a light stick in his hand and looks up and down at the whole world... But where I wonder if this man, so thin and so strange, was born?... Don't look that far... He saw the day in Dardha, in Molle, or in Breg t Pula. It is grown among donkey dung or sheep dung. (Work 1, p. 144).

88. I have spent my life fighting against that vile trickery called charlatanism, and to confess the truth, it makes my blood boil when I see some dead lice who, to keep themselves civilized and fine, make fun of clothes national of Albania. I want to have some of those Gordhans and take them to Scotland to see how the great gentlemen are dressed, at weddings and gatherings, in their national clothes, which are very similar to ours. (Work 1, p. 149).

89. In Albania, as everywhere in the world, there is an unstoppable tendency towards uniformity. (Work 1, p. 270).

90. The Albanian, no matter how modest he is, quickly gets to work as soon as he sees that his work will not be wasted. Perhaps you have heard that the Corinth Canal in Greece, which joined two seas, was more crowded by Albanian workers. They worked, those healthy boys of Albania, they worked.... A nation that is lazy from the root is a dead nation. (Albania 14, 15-30 June 1898).

91. When I like or dislike a work, I don't have to dance or vent: it must show the composition of my liking or disliking, if I want to try to associate the singers in a feeling with me. Thus criticism itself becomes a literary work. (Work 1, p. 244).

92. Keep in mind that, for me, homeland and literature are two things. A letter can have both homeland and [literary] talent, can it have neither this nor that, can it have one without the other. It shouldn't be expected of me - because I am a good patriot myself - that I should conclude that ipso facto, he also has mental value or beautiful feathers. My position before Naim bey Frashëri was not understood for this reason.

93. Albanians speak an old language that is distantly related to Latin, Greek, Teutonic, Sanskrit and others. In short, it is one of the languages ​​called Indo-Germanic. (Work 1, p. 262).

94. Trying to change the language of a people means changing its character and destroying its personality. The Tosca dialect, lively, agile, light and constantly evolving, reflects well the Tosca character, which is distinguished by a restrained rudeness, a sense of humor, skill, intrigue and volatility. On the contrary, the Gege dialect, massive, unchanging, without expressions with double meanings, best represents the Gege character, which is serious, sincere, often innocent and above all, the enemy of young women... The Gege dialect contains hundreds expressions that the Tuscans have lost and that are real jewels, because we inherited them from our ancient ancestors. (Work 1, p. 194-195).

95. Despite the wars, transgressions and disturbances throughout the past, the Albanian people, with their strength of will and their power of opposition, have been able to keep alive, not only their language known by philologists as the most old in Southeast Europe, and some of its old traditions. (Work 1, p. 273).

96. A beautiful fire burns in the heart of boyhood and, full of desire, the brave men of our land are trying to beautify Albania. (Work 1, p. 224).

97. All the countries of the earth have a literary language, that is to say polished and decorated, with which books, letters, works are written... Only the Albanians do not have such a language; and that is why we have remained separated from each other, that is why so many evils have flowed to us poor people. It is a necessity and compulsion to lay the foundation of a literary language. (Albania 1, 1897).

98. Last week I saw an unforgettable dream. A slender, tall woman appeared to me, full of the shadow of nobility, although she was dressed in rags. I, not noticing the poverty of her dress, and imagining how beautiful she would look if she were clothed in silk, rose respectfully and begged her. - "Lady, I said, who are you, Your Highness, and why do you look so sad and gloomy?" - "I - he said - am the Albanian language, and you see me so bitter from the hardships I take and from the dangers that surround me". - "Lady, don't be sad anymore: as long as we are alive, and as long as others like us are alive... we wish, Mother, to see you smile." (May 1925, Act 3, p. 373-374).

99. Our Father in heaven, give us the power to keep our mouths shut when we have nothing to say; forgive us the patience to deepen a work before writing about it: inspire us with a keen sense of justice to not only speak impartially, but also to act impartially; saved from the traps of grammar, from the distortions of the language and from the deviations of the press. So be it! (Work 3, p. 421-422).

100. When you write something, sing it and correct it many times, so that every syllable sounds like a piece of music to your ears. (Now, good night, because my eyes are stinging). (Work 1, p. 226)./ Collected and prepared by: Fotaq Andrea
