When we hear news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.[Il faut toujours, en fait de nouvelles, attendre le sacrement de la confirmation.]
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.[Der Lachende hat die furchtbare nachricht nur noch nicht empfangen.]
Only a fool rushes bad news.
One had the right to write because other people needed news of the inner world, and if they went too long without such news they would go mad with the chaos of their lives.
News travels fast in places where nothing much ever happens.
News fitting to the night, black, fearful, comfortless, and horrible.
