Optimism... it is the obstinacy of maintaining that everything is best when it is worst.

"Voltaire is Candide!" "Voltaire is Pococurante!" WRONG. Voltaire is the Old Woman, because he took pleasure in broadcasting his ass issues to as many people as possible.

Ignorant readers are apt to judge a writer by his reputation. For my part, I read only to please myself. I like nothing but what makes for my purpose.
Voltaire, Candide
