The French, For Example, Are A Contemptible

Force Does Not Constitute Right... Obedience Is Due Only To Legitimate Powers.

We Do Not Know What Really Good Or Bad Fortune Is.

All Kinds Of Frankness And Honesty Are Terrible Crimes In The Eyes Of Society.

Conscience Is The Voice Of The Soul, The Passions Are The Voice Of The Body. It Is Strange That These Voices Often Contradict Each Other?

Two Things, Almost Incompatible, Are United In Me In A Manner Which I Am Unable To Understand: A Very Ardent Temperament, Lively And Tumultuous Passions, And, At The Same Time, Slowly Developed And Confused Ideas, Which Never Present Themselves Until It Is Too Late. One Might Say That My Heart And My Mind Do Not Belong To The Same Person.
