HIM: Hardly anyone. Could you tell me what people are looking for in those books? ME: Amusement and instruction. HIM: What instruction? That's the point. HIM HARDLY ANY ONE COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR IN THOSE BOOKS ME AMUSEMENT AND INSTRUCTION HIM WHAT INSTRUCTION THAT'S THE POINT
ool under an intelligent looking physiognomy. It's a really common form of cowardice to sacrifice a good man for the amusement of others. And they never fail to go after this man. He's a trap we set for the new arrivals, and I've hardly seen a single one of them fail to get caught. I was sometimes surprised by the justice of this fool's observations on men and on their characters. I told him as much. "Well," he replied, "it's a matter of getting some benefits out of bad company, just like out of being a libertine. You get compensation for the loss of innocence by also losing your prejudices. In a society of bad people, where vice shows itself with its mask removed, you learn to recognize it. And besides, I've read a bit." ME: What have you read? HIM: I've read, I read, and I constantly re-read Theophrastus, La Bruyère and Molière. ME: Those are excellent books. HIM: They are much better than people think, but who knows how to read them? ME: Everyone, according to how intelligent he is. LOOK LIKE A FOOL AS IT IS TO HIDE A FOOL UNDER AN INTELLIGENT LOOKING PHYSIOGNOMY IT'S A REALLY COMMON FORM OF COWARDICE TO SACRIFICE A GOOD MAN FOR THE AMUSEMENT OF OTHERS AND THEY NEVER FAIL TO GO AFTER THIS MAN HE'S A TRAP WE SET FOR THE NEW ARRIVALS AND I'VE HARDLY SEEN A SINGLE ONE OF THEM FAIL TO GET CAUGHT I WAS SOMETIMES SURPRISED BY THE JUSTICE OF THIS FOOL'S OBSERVATIONS ON MEN AND ON THEIR CHARACTERS I TOLD HIM AS MUCH WELL HE REPLIED IT'S A MATTER OF GETTING SOME BENEFITS OUT OF BAD COMPANY JUST LIKE OUT OF BEING A LIBERTINE YOU GET COMPENSATION FOR THE LOSS OF INNOCENCE BY ALSO LOSING YOUR PREJUDICES IN A SOCIETY OF BAD PEOPLE WHERE VICE SHOWS ITSELF WITH ITS MASK REMOVED YOU LEARN TO RECOGNIZE IT AND BESIDES I'VE READ A BIT ME WHAT HAVE YOU READ HIM I'VE READ WHY READ AND I CONSTANTLY REREAD THEOPHRASTUS LABRUET AND MOLIERE ME THOSE ARE EXCELLENT BOOKS HIM THEY ARE MUCH BETTER THAN PEOPLE THINK BUT WHO KNOWS HOW TO READ THEM ME EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO HOW INTELLIGENT HE IS
