"My dear Matzneff, thank you for your lively comments. I am very pleased that you have included me in the crusade against procreation. Sometimes I regret not being a fanatic: with what fury I would fight for the depopulation of the globe! You were right to highlight the passages on suicide, without ever trying to downplay them. Quite the contrary."
As for Nietzsche, I am exasperated and saddened to see that he is, like Christ, accepted by everyone. It only takes someone in our era to be condemned. But we could talk about all these things another time. Call me as soon as you can. Yours sincerely, Cioran.
