More from The Friends of Voltaire
- A Platonic friendship is perhaps only possible when one or other of the Platonists is in love with a third person.
- I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
- It is by character and not by intellect the world is won.
- There is always more goodness in the world than there appears to be, because goodness is of its very nature modest and retiring.
- It won’t be an easy journey. It’ll be long, and arduous. But I promise you one thing: on the memory of those lying here before you, we shall find it, and Earth shall become our new home. So say we all!
- Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?
