Jonathan Swift
“Un jeune américain de ma connaissance, homme très-entendu, m’a certifié à Londres qu’un jeune enfant bien sain, bien nourri, est, à l’âge d’un an, un aliment délicieux, très-nourrissant et très-sain, bouilli, rôti, à l’étuvée ou au four, et je ne mets pas en doute qu’il ne puisse également servir en fricassée ou en ragoût.”
Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal

Denis Diderot
“Comment s’étaient-ils rencontrés? Par hasard, comme tout le monde. Comment s’appelaient-ils? Que vous importe? D’où venaient-ils? Du lieu le plus prochain. Où allaient-ils? Est-ce que l’on sait où l’on va? Que disaient-ils? Le maître ne disait rien; et Jacques disait que son capitaine disait que tout ce qui nous arrive de bien et de mal ici-bas était écrit là-haut.”
Denis Diderot
