Joseph Conrad Zitate

Joseph Conrad

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es gibt hier und da Männer, denen das ganze Leben wie eine Nachmittagsstunde mit einer Zigarre ist; leicht, angenehm, leer, vielleicht belebt von einer Fabel des Streits, die vergessen werden soll - bevor das Ende gesagt wird - auch wenn es ein Ende gibt.
