      — Ĉu vi jam estas vizitinta tiun ĉi teatron?
      — Ne! Ĝi estas burĝa amuzo!

    • Stellan Engholm, Al Torento, Ĉapitro 1,
      Ĉu ni en niaj junaj tagoj bezonis monon por danci kaj amuziĝi? Sed nun? Nenia amuzo kiu ne kostas monon; kaj amuzo, kiu ne kostas iom, ne estas amuzo plu.
      When we were young, did we need money to dance and enjoy ourselves? But now? No entertainment that doesn’t cost money; and any entertainment that doesn’t cost anything is no longer entertainment.

      a way of life up till then that he had been delighted for her to enjoy: dressing nicely, sleeping late, helping about the house, taking part in a few modest entertainments, and above all playing the violin (Joyce Crick translation, Oxford, 2009)
