"Happy are those who do not read newspapers, the illiterate, the uninvolved, for they have common sense. To feel fully satisfied, we need to live more simply. Reading newspapers has increased the number of fools. We must read the literature of the sixties. Compared to them, today's writers are small children.

""Fericiți cei care nu citesc ziare, analfabeții, neimplicații, căci au bun-simț. Pentru a ne simți deplin mulțumiți, trebuie să trăim mai simplu. Lectura ziarelor a făcut să crească numărul proștilor. Trebuie să citim literatura anilor șaizeci. În comparație cu ei, scriitorii actuali sunt mici copii."
