“It's said that one must sink all execrable things
Closed in a sepulchre, deep in oblivion,
And that by written works, evil brought back to life
Will taint the moral will of our posterity.
But vice is mothered not by Knowledge, not at all,
And Virtue's surely not the child of Ignorance.”
― Les Tragiques

“Sanotaan, että kaikki kauheudet on syytä hukuttaa / unohduksen kuiluun, hautoihin sulkea / ja että kirjoittaen henkiin herätetty paha / turmelee jälkipolvien moraalin. / Mutta paheen äiti ei ole tieto, / eikä hyve ole tietämättömyyden tytär.”
