«Es van dir unes quantes coses intel·ligents i unes quantes coses francament poca-soltes, però, en general, la majoria no pertanyien ni a l’una ni a l’altra categoria: res pitjor que comentaris quotidians, repeticions avorrides, notícies ja sentides i bromes que feien poca gràcia.»
«A few clever things said, a few downright silly, but by much the larger proportion neither the one nor the other—nothing worse than everyday remarks, dull repetitions, old news, and heavy jokes.»
