“Candide was an optimist, but you're a pessoptimist." "That fact," I repsonded, "Is a virtue that, above all others, distinguishes my people." "But you," he criticized again, "seem to be imitating Candide." "Don't blame me for that. Blame our way of life that hasn't changed since Voltaire's day, except that El Dorado has now come to exist on this planet.” — Emile Habiby
