“The earth is the earth as a peasant sees it, the world is the world as a duchess sees it, and anyway a duchess would be nothing if the earth was not there as the peasant sees it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Nothing could be so beautiful, so smart, so well drilled as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, oboes, drums, cannons formed a harmony such as was never heard in hell.... Candide, trembling like a philosopher, hid himself as best he could during this heroic butchery.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“Shall we never have done with that cliché, so stupid that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do. A fit of crying disturbs them, they’ll sometimes imitate sobbing, and for a moment they’ll reflect our sadness. But they flee unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run they are capable of boycotting it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
