Voltaire
Nothing could be smarter, more splendid, more brilliant, better drawn up than two armies. Trumpets, fifes, hautboys, drums, cannons, formed a harmony such as never been heard in hell.
Voltaire
It is not more surprising to be born twice than once everything in nature is resurrection.
Voltaire
