Real depth is only judged by clarity. I personally suffer from a severe and incurable disease: respect for the reader. Since you publish, you do it to be read, so to make yourself understood; forcing yourself to be clear is the most basic courtesy. Why make something opaque with everything inside? Except in the force majeure case of genuine genius, when everything becomes a paradox, in all other circumstances it is an impertinence.

Romanian

"Profunzimea reală nu se judecă decât prin claritate. Eu personal sufăr de un rău sever și fără leac: respectul față de cititor. Din moment ce publici, o faci ca să fii citit, deci ca să te faci înțeles; a te forța să fii clar este cea mai elementară politețe. De ce să faci ceva opac cu tot dinadinsul? În afară de cazul de forță majoră al geniului autentic, când totul devine un paradox, în toate celelalte împrejurări e o impertinență."
