... quotes like these make me enjoy philosophy so much more~*

When Rousseau sent Voltaire a copy of his book The Social Contract, Voltaire answered him with a letter in which he said,

"I have received your new book against the human race, and thank you for it. Never was such a cleverness used in the design of making us all stupid. One longs, in reading your book, to walk on all fours. But as I have lost that habit for more than sixty years, I feel unhappily the impossibility of resuming it."
