Jean-François de La Harpe
French Playwright, Writer and Critic
"We weaken what we exaggerate."
"Superstition changes a man to a beast, fanaticism makes him a wild beast, and despotism a beast of burden."
"Our self-love can be resigned to the sacrifice of everything but itself."
"We never forgive those who make us blush."
