" "La psychanalyse prend aujourd'hui, comme toutes nos idées, une forme aberrante totalitaire ; elle cherche à nous enfermer dans le carcan de ses propres perversions. Elle a occupé le terrain laissé libre par les superstitions, se voile habilement dans un jargon de sémantique qui fabrique ses propres éléments d'analyse et attire la clientèle par des moyens d'intimidation et de chantage psychiques, un peu comme ces racketters américains qui vous imposent leur protection.
Je laisse donc volontiers aux charlatans et aux détraqués qui nous commandent dans tant de domaines le soin d'expliquer mon sentiment pour ma mère par quelque enflure pathologique : étant donné ce que la liberté, la fraternité et les plus nobles aspirations de l'homme sont devenues entre leurs mains, je ne vois pas pourquoi la simplicité de l'amour filial ne se déformerait pas dans leurs cervelles malades à l'image du reste.

Additional quotes by Romain Gary
— Отче наш, който си на небето — замоли се той. — Дай ни да се издигнем! Дай ни да стигнем повърхността и стори ни повърхностни! Дай ни само милиметър дълбина и позволи ни най-сетне да бъдем простички като добрутро! Върни ни вкуса към розите и синевата, към нежността и прелестта, и научи ни що да правим с куче, с лес, със залез, с птича песен! И спаси ни от злото и абстракциите, и върни ни разума!

Your generation is suffering from what for lack of a better word I shall call over-debunk. There was a lot of debunking that had to be done, of course. Bigotry, militarism, nationalism, religious intolerance, hypocrisy, phonyness, all sorts of dangerous, ready-made, artificially preserved false values. But your generation and the generation before yours went too far with their debunking job. You went overboard. Over-debunk, that's what you did. It's moral overkill. It's like those insecticides Rachel Carson speaks of in her book, that poison everything, and kill all the nice, useful bugs as well as the bad ones, and in the end poison human beings as well. In the end, it poisons life itself, the very air we breathe. That's what you did, morally and intellectually speaking. Yours is a silent spring. You have overprotected yourselves. You are all no more than twenty, twenty-two years old, but yours is a silent spring, I'm telling you. Nothing sings for you any more.
