"To name Voltaire is to characterize the entire eighteenth century."--Victor Hugo. "Italy had a Renaissance, and Germany had a Reformation, but France had Voltaire; he was for his country both Renaissance and Reformation, and half the Revolution. ... His spirit moved like a flame over the continent and the century and stirs a million souls in every generation." - Will Durant. "Not to admire Voltaire is one of the many forms of stupidity." -- Jorge Luis Borges.
