ME: Insulting science and virtue in order to make a living  that's really expensive bread. ME INSULTING SCIENCE AND VIRTUE IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING THAT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE BREAD
d. Sometimes the crowds of Bertin, Montsauge, and Villemorien come together, and then there's a fine old noise in the menagerie. You've never seen so many wretched creatures in one place--cantankerous, harmful, and angry. No one hears anything but the names of Buffon, Duclos, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Votaire, D'Alembert, Diderot, and God only knows what epithets are attached to them. No one can have any wit unless he is as stupid as we are. That's the place where the plan for the comedy Les Philosphes was conceived--I'm the one who came up with the scene of the peddler. I based it on La Théologie en Quenouille. You don't get off the hook in it, any more than anyone else. ME: So much the better. Perhaps you're giving me more honour than I deserve. I'd be humiliated if those who speak badly about so many expert and decent people decided to say something good about me. HIM: There are many of us, and each one must pay his dues. After the sacrifice of the great animals we immolate the others.
