"I threw this bush of maculature into the corner. What a grief! The fool is cared for, the fool is carefully raised, the fool is fertilized, and there is no end to this... The fool has become the norm, a little more – and the fool will become an ideal, and the doctor of philosophy will be led around him by enthusiastic chordists. And the newspapers are running chords now. How beautiful you are, fool! Oh, how healthy and healthy you are, fool! Oh, how optimistic you are, stupid, and how stupid you are, smart, what a subtle sense of humor you have, and how skillfully you solve crosswords! You, most importantly, just don’t worry, fool, everything is so good, everything is so great, and science at your service, fool, and literature, so that you can have fun, fool, and you don’t have to think about anything.
