Philip Roth: "Old Age Is a Massacre"

SPIEGEL Interview with Philip Roth: "Old Age Is a Massacre" - SPIEGEL ONLINE:
" Let him be defined by his relationship to others, to his father and mother, his brother, his wives, his daughter. We may all feel defined by our names, but, in fact, what defines us is our relationship to the network of people we know. That's who we are."

Цитата: “Старость не битва, это бойня"

Folks just do their best to put aside that knowledge. There are those who have the consolation of a religion which promises them that they won't die. I don't see how they can possibly believe it but then people can believe all sorts of things for which there is absolutely no evidence. /Philip Roth/

/Люди просто делают все возможное, чтобы отложить в сторону эти знания.
Есть те, кто находит утешение в религии, которая обещает им, что они не умрут.
Я не вижу, как они только могут в это поверить, в таком случае люди могут верить во всякие вещи, для которых нет абсолютно никаких доказательств./
