... He did not look for what was laughable in men in order to disparage them. He found what was laughable in them in order to enjoy laughing...

... Il ne cherche pas dans les hommes ce qu'ils ont de ridicule, pour les décrier. Il trouve ce qu'ils ont de ridicule, pour s'en réjouir...


- Saint-Evremond, from Portrait of M. de Saint-Evremond, by himself
