"Elegant, rich, ceremonial speech is incompatible with feeling. It does not serve his authentic expression, nor can it arouse it. But the feeling is satisfied with the simplest, ordinary, even vulgar words and expressions.

Elegant, rich, ceremonial speech is incompatible with feeling. It does not serve his authentic expression, nor can it arouse it. But the feeling is satisfied with the simplest, ordinary, even vulgar words and expressions.
"Romanian
"Vorbirea elegantă, bogată, ceremonioasă este incompatibilă cu sentimentul. Ea nu servește expresiei lui autentice și nici nu o poate stârni. Dar sentimentul se mulțumește cu cuvintele și expresiile cele mai simple, obișnuite, ba chiar vulgare."
