    • 1934, Joan Puig i Ferreter, Camins de França:
      La realitat t'ha portat entremig de moltes menes d'homes, t'ha fet conèixer diversos oficis, t'ha ensenyat de rumiar, d'esmolar l'enginy, ha multiplicat la teva astúcia i la teva força, i amb tot això no t'has alliberat de fer coneixença amb el fred i la fam.
      Reality has brought you among many types of men, it has acquainted you with different trades, it has taught you to ponder, to hone your mind, it has increased your cunning and your strength, and with all that you haven't set yourself free from getting to know cold and hunger.
