    Ich würde viel lieber Männer fragen lassen, warum ich keine Statue habe, als warum ich eine habe.

    Θα προτιμούσα να ρωτήσω τους άνδρες γιατί δεν έχω άγαλμα, παρά γιατί έχω ένα.

    Je préférerais de loin que les hommes me demandent pourquoi je n'ai pas de statue plutôt que pourquoi j'en ai une.

    Ես ավելի լավ կլիներ, որ տղամարդիկ հարցնեին, թե ինչու ես արձան չունեմ, քան ինչու ունեմ մեկը:

    Preferirei di gran lunga che gli uomini mi chiedessero perché non ho una statua, piuttosto che perché ne ho una.

    אני מעדיף שגברים ישאלו למה אין לי פסל, מאשר למה יש לי אחד.

    non quaeritur quid ego statuam malle quam rem habent.

    ik heb liever dat mannen vragen waarom ik geen beeld heb, dan waarom ik er een heb.

    Wolałbym, żeby mężczyźni pytali, dlaczego nie mam posągu, niż dlaczego go mam.

    Tôi thà rằng người ta hỏi tại sao tôi không có tượng, hơn là hỏi tại sao tôi có một bức tượng.
