Цитата из книги «Преданный друг» Оскар Уайльдпоказать все Добавить
"You must not mind my speaking quite plainly to you. Of course I should not dream of doing so if I were not your friend. But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good."
Это история о маленьком Гансе и и его друге — богатом Мельнике, которую птичка Коноплянка рассказала одинокой Водяной Крысе. Перевод Тамары Габбе.
