“My dear friend, In ten years, or, let’s be optimistic, in twenty, you will have no one to whom to address a letter like yours, for no one would understand the reasons for such indignation. It takes a strong dose of cynicism to watch with detachment the agony of a language. Let us toughen up! Yours truly, Cioran.”
