“I don't know how your Pangloss would be able to weigh up the misfortunes of different men and take the measure of their hardship. All I can say is that I suspect that there are millions of men on earth who deserve a hundred times more pity than your King Charles Edward, Tsar Ivan, or Sultan Ahmed.” — Voltaire
