Elias Canetti Quote

I can't be twenty-two again. I can't subject myself to the same compulsion that, at the time, appeared to me as freedom and gave me wings.


J. Agee, trans. (1989), p. 17 - Das Geheimherz der Uhr [The Secret Heart of the Clock] (1987)


I can't be twenty-two again. I can't subject myself to the same compulsion that, at the time, appeared to me as freedom and gave me wings.

I can't be twenty-two again. I can't subject myself to the same compulsion that, at the time, appeared to me as freedom and gave me wings.

I can't be twenty-two again. I can't subject myself to the same compulsion that, at the time, appeared to me as freedom and gave me wings.

I can't be twenty-two again. I can't subject myself to the same compulsion that, at the time, appeared to me as freedom and gave me wings.
