Where is our comfort but in the free, uninvolved, finally mysterious beauty and grace of this world that we did not make, that has no price? Where is our sanity but there? Where is our pleasure but in working and resting kindly in the presence of this world? (pg. 215, Economy and Pleasure) ↗

Tata profeţeşte, în continuare, aghezmuind cu pensula de vopsea. Zice că dacă au desfiinţat Şcoala Blajului, azi-mâine - or să desfiinţeze şi Biserica Unită, cine să-i împiedice, ba chiar o să le sară în ajutor Sfânta Biserică Ortodoxă, crezînd că astfel are să întoarcă la turmă oiţele rătăcite la 1700... Mai zice tata ce-a mai zis, că vrem, nu vrem, greco-catolicii ardeleni ne-au învăţat carte - din păcate nu ăi pe noi, Basarabenii, căzuţi sub Ruşi. Ne ţine tata, pentru a nu ştiu câta oară, conferinţă cu Şcoala Ardeleană şi zice că, de n-ar fi fost papistaşii Maior, Micu, Şincai, şi în ziua de azi ar fi moţăit Românul la umbră turcească, neînstare să se apere măcar de muştele care-i intrau în gură; ar fi pirotit şi-acum pe ceardac, pufăind din narghilè şi horpăind, în somn, din cahfè... ↗
