"In France everything is a matter for jest.……" — Honore de Balzac

"In France everything is a matter for jest. People make quips about the scaffold, about Napoleon's defeat on the banks of The Beresina, and about the barricades of our revolutions. So, at the assizes of the Last Judgment, there will always be a Frenchmen to crack a joke."

— Honore de Balzac
