That the world was and will be a piece of crap, I already know... (In fifteen-six and in two thousand as well!) That there have always been thieves, Machiavellians, and swindlers, happy and bitter, values and double-crossers... But that the twentieth century is a display of insolent evil, no one can deny it. We live rolling in a mess and in the same mud, all touched... Today it turns out that it's the same to be honest as to be a traitor!... Ignorant, wise, or a thief, generous or a swindler!... And everything is the same! Nothing is better! The same a donkey as a great professor! There are no postponements or hierarchy, the immoral have made us all equal. One lives in imposture, another steals in ambition, it's the same whether it's a priest, a mattress maker, king of clubs, a crook, or a stowaway!... What disrespect, what an outrage to reason! Anyone is a gentleman! Anyone is a thief! Mixed with Stavisky is Don Bosco and
