"Celebration is a bad sign for me. The celebration of Mecinikov * gave me something to think about. We're both obviously stupid people if we've been such a crowd pleaser. I am only consoled by the fact that it is not the envious people who criticize me, but the revolutionaries, and the church leaders, the clergy.

Celebration is a bad sign for me. The celebration of Mecinikov * gave me something to think about. We're both obviously stupid people if we've been such a crowd pleaser. I am only consoled by the fact that it is not the envious people who criticize me, but the revolutionaries, and the church leaders, the clergy.
""Sărbătorirea e semn rău pentru mine. Sărbătorirea lui Mecinikov * mi-a dat de gândit. Amândoi suntem, evident, oameni găunoși dacă am făcut în asemenea măsură pe plac mulțimii. Mă consolează numai faptul că pe mine mă critică nu invidioșii, ci mă critică serios și revoluționarii, și fețele bisericești, clericii."
