A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.

    un gran escritor es, por así decirlo, un segundo gobierno en su país. y por eso ningún régimen ha amado jamás a los grandes escritores, sólo a los menores.

    एक महान लेखक, इसलिए बोलने के लिए, अपने देश में दूसरी सरकार है। और इसी कारण से किसी भी शासन ने कभी भी महान लेखकों से प्रेम नहीं किया, केवल छोटे लेखकों को।

    ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಹಾನ್ ಬರಹಗಾರ, ಮಾತನಾಡಲು, ಅವನ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡನೇ ಸರ್ಕಾರ. ಮತ್ತು ಆ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಆಡಳಿತವು ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ ಬರಹಗಾರರನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ, ಕೇವಲ ಚಿಕ್ಕವರನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರ.

    великий писатель - это, так сказать, второе правительство в своей стране. и по этой причине ни один режим никогда не любил великих писателей, только второстепенных.
