Being Unable To Cure Death, Wretchedness, And

That Something So Obvious As The Vanity Of The World Should Be So Little Recognized That People Find It Odd And Surprising To Be Told That It Is Foolish To Seek Greatness; That Is Most Remarkable.

What A Chimera Then Is Man. What A Novelty! What A Monster... What A Contradiction, What A Prodigy

To Ridicule Philosophy Is Truly Philosophical. [fr., Se Moquer De La Philosophie C'est Vraiment Philosophe.]
