Alex :)’s Reviews > Correspondence: Letters Between Frederic II. And M. De Voltaire; Translated From the French > Status Update

“I love your verse, your prose, your wit, and your bold and firm philosophy.
I have neither been able to live without you nor with you. I do not address myself to the hero and the king; it is for monarchs so to address you; but I converse with a man who enraptured me, whom I have loved, and with whom I continue to be angry.”

Best letter in the entire correspondence but also PACK IT UP freaking voltaire 😕

“Behave as you think proper toward kings; beat them, abandon them, quarrel with them, make peace with them; but never be inconstant to me, for I adore you.”
