L'âge d'or. Volume 1 Quotes

“Nature gave the same form to all
And warms each one with the same heat
Using reason, we follow her inclination
To give equal opportunity to our fellow humans
Who are our brothers.

None should seek felicity
To the detriment of his neighbor.
Depriving oneself of a pleasure to offer it to others
Is the sign of a noble heart
And the expression of wisdom.

Thus nature and reason go hand in hand
And ask us to help one another
For the good of all and by common agreement
We share
In the feast of life.”
― Roxanne Moreil, L'âge d'or. Volume 1

“Don't forget, Bertil. Today's honors must be greeted with the same reserve as yesterday's disgraces.”
― Roxanne Moreil, L'âge d'or. Volume 1

“Good God, Bertil, don't be daft. Peasants are like children. They love to frighten one another.”
― Roxanne Moreil, L'âge d'or. Volume 1
