Lamartine is a dreamer, Hugo a Philosopher, I am a populiser.
To require human nature not to be ungrateful is to ask wolves to be herbivorous.”
I haven’t any money. Drink Champagne, all of you – that’ll be a nice change.” (when a servant pointed out that more wine had to be bought for the servants).
