“My dear Matzneff, thank you for your lively comments. I am very happy that you associated me with the crusade against procreation. Sometimes I regret not being a fanatic: with what rage I would fight for the depopulation of the globe! You were right to note the passages on suicide, without ever wanting to mitigate them. On the contrary.

As for Nietzsche, I am exasperated and afflicted to see that he is, like Christ, accepted by all . It is enough that our time adopted someone to be condemned. But of all these things we could speak one day next day. Call me as soon as you can. Well friendly to you. Cioran. »»
