“Have we despised what the world esteems and esteemed what it despises? Have we fled what it wants and wanted what it flees? Have we loved what it hates and hated what it loves?”

—  Louis Tronson

Avons-nous pour cela méprisé ce qu&#x27;il estime, et estimé ce qu&#x27;il méprise? Avons nous fui ce qu&#x27;il recherche , et recherché ce qu&#x27;il fuit? Avons-nous aimé ce qu&#x27;il hait, et haï ce qu&#x27;il aime? <br class="br">Examens particuliers sur divers sujets, p. 321 http://books.google.com/books?id=esY9AAAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA321 <br class="br">Examens particuliers sur divers sujets [Examination of Conscience upon Special Subjects] (1690)
