Romain Rolland wrote to Albert Einstein
"It pains me to think that you have lost your optimism, which so struck me on the occasion of our first meeting two years ago. Personally, I have preserved a profound faith in our future.
The nations must be driven to exhaustion; but misty will continue to move forward, and I believe in this richer and wider conception of civilization, in which intellectuals from Asia will bring the opportunities for development to our now impoverished Europe."
