Were you aware, Dejo, that the German, which is the source, is actually a translated quotation from Somerset Maugham?

I wasn't aware Raggione. Do you know from which work, or where I can find the quote in English. I'll then exchange it for this back-translation.

Not really, Dejo. I'll try and hopefully find it tomorrow morning. I'll let you know.
