[Jean-Christophe’s father] was not a bad man, but a half-good man, which is perhaps worse — weak, without spring, without moral strength, but for the rest, in his own opinion, a good father, a good son, a good husband, a good man — and perhaps he was good, if to be so it is enough to possess an easy kindness, which is quickly touched, and that animal affection by which a man loves his kin as a part of himself. It cannot even be said that he was very egoistic; he had not personality enough for that. He was nothing. They are a terrible thing in life, these people who are nothing. Like a dead weight thrown into the air, they fall, and must fall; and in their fall they drag with them everything that they have.

كان الفلاحون يجلُّونه وهم يعرفون أن في استطاعتهم اللجوء إليه، وكانوا يسرفون في ذلك، ولم يخيب (جنان) رجاءهم أبدا. لكن اعتراف الناس بالجميل -حتى الطيبين منهم- كالفاكهة؛ يجب جمعها في أوانها. أما إذا تُركت زمنًا على الشجرة، فلن تلبث أن تفسد. وعندما تمر بضعة شهور، يكون عملاء (جنان) قد ألفوا التفكير في أن هذه الخدمة إنما هي واجب يؤدَّى لهم. بل إنهم كانوا يميلون إلى الاعتقاد بأن (جنان) -وقد أظهر هذا السرور المتناهي لمساعدتهم- واجدٌ له منفعة في ذلك. وكان أرقهم شعورًا يعتبرون أنفسهم قد تخلصوا، إن لم يكن من الديون فعلى الأقل من الوفاء بالجميل، لو أهدوا إليه -يوم سوق البلد- أرنبًا بريا اصطادوه، أو سلة من بيض دجاجهم.
