    أنا لا أتحدث لأن لدي القدرة على الكلام ؛ أنا أتحدث لأنني لا أملك القدرة على التزام الصمت

    मैं नहीं बोलता क्योंकि मेरे पास बोलने की शक्ति है; मैं बोलता हूं क्योंकि मेरे पास चुप रहने की शक्ति नहीं है

    אני לא מדבר כי יש לי את הכוח לדבר; אני מדבר כי אין לי כוח לשתוק

    איך קען נישט רעדן ווייַל איך האָבן די מאַכט צו רעדן; איך רעדן ווייַל איך טאָן נישט האָבן די מאַכט צו בלייבן שטיל
