But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. --- Nem vagyunk hajlandóak elhinni, hogy az igazságosság kincstára csődbe ment. (M L K)
egy szellemes Voltaire-idézet
- Si Dieu nous a faits à son image, nous le lui avons bien rendu.
- If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.
- Notebooks (c.1735-c.1750)
- If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.
és egy idézet ami ki tudja kitől származik. találtam lá Denis Diderot-t, Voltairet, wikiquote szerint azonban nem az övé. pedig maga a gondolat elsöprő.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
- Though these words are regularly attributed to Voltaire, they were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire's beliefs on freedom of thought and expression.
- Another possible source for the quote was proposed by Norbert Guterman, editor of "A Book of French Quotations," who noted a letter to M. le Riche (February 6, 1770) in which Voltaire is quoted as saying: "Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write" ("Monsieur l'abbé, je déteste ce que vous écrivez, mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez continuer à écrire"). This remark, however, does not appear in the letter.
másik angol verzió - I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
