"The idea that one of the main causes of the misfortunes that humanity is going through is inertia, the acceptance of some forms of life that are already obsolete: the church, the state, science, is being formulated more and more clearly and insistently. To plow over the grain, to put on, as an adult, children's clothes and tear them, sew them back, adjust and not understand that they are no longer needed, that they must be thrown away and new ones made.

The idea that one of the main causes of the misfortunes that humanity is going through is inertia, the acceptance of some forms of life that are already obsolete: the church, the state, science, is being formulated more and more clearly and insistently. To plow over the grain, to put on, as an adult, children's clothes and tear them, sew them back, adjust and not understand that they are no longer needed, that they must be thrown away and new ones made.
""Din ce în ce mai limpede și mai insistent se cere formulate ideea că una dintre principalele cauze ale nenorocirilor prin care trece omenirea este inerția, acceptarea unor forme ale vieții deja desuete: biserica, statul, știința. A ara peste grâne, a îmbrăca, adult fiind, haine de copii și a le sfâșia, coase la loc, ajusta și a nu înțelege ca nu mai e nevoie de ele, că trebuie aruncate și făcute altele noi."
