Erich Fried wrote a poem called "Angst und Zweifel", it goes roughly like this:
do not doubt the one
who says he is afraid
but be afraid of the one
who says he knows no doubt
- jeangenie 12y agoIs this your own translation?
- PavlovsCat 12y agoYes, I made it for the occasion :) It's a bit awkward though, "the one" would better be translated with "him"; I wanted to make it gender neutral and couldn't think of anything good. Wikiquote translates it as "Do not doubt him who tells you he is afraid, but be afraid of him who tells you he has no doubts."
- jeangenie 12y agoI prefer yours. Nice work!
