258. Bertolt Brecht

Ferlandina amb Joaquín Costa (Barcelona)

Felandina&Joaquin Costa crossroads

Hi ha diverses maneres de matar.

A un home, pots clavar-li un ganivet a la panxa,

o retirar-li el pa,

o no prendre'n cura quan està malalt,

o entaforar-lo en una casa infecta,

o fer-lo matar treballant,

o incitar-lo al suïcidi,

o menar-lo a la guerra, etc.

Només unes quantes d'aquestes coses són prohibides al nostre Estat.

There are several ways to kill a man.

You can stick a knife to his belly,

either you can withdraw the bread to him,

or don't take care him in the illness,

either to hide him in a repulsive house,

or to make him kill working,

or incite him to the suicide,

or lead him to the war, etc.

Only a few of these things are forbidden to our State.

Bertolt Brecht
