“Nella vita di tutti i giorni [i francesi] hanno portato al massimo grado di perfezione quell'arte che, fra tutte, è la più utile e la più gradevole, l'art de vivre, l'arte della società e della conversazione.
- David Hume, The Philosophical Works”
Benedetta Craveri, The Age of Conversation

“Si dice che l'uomo sia un animale socievole. Stando così le cose, mi pare che un francese sia più uomo di un altro, è l'uomo per eccellenza, poichè sembra fatto unicamente per vivere in società."
- Montesquieu, Lettre Persanes”
Benedetta Craveri, The Age of Conversation
