Subcategory: French Philosopher
|  Ignorance is the primary source of all misery and vice. | | All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties; they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state; but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things. | | The beautiful cannot be the way to what is useful, or to what is good, or to what is holy; it leads only to itself. | | All truly historical peoples have an idea they must realize, and when they have sufficiently exploited it at home, they export it, in a certain way, by war; they make it tour the world. | | True philosophy invents nothing; it merely establishes and describes what is. |
