Is it without microphone?

[ALYSSZ]

No, if you look good, you can see a little mic under Cunegonde's hair. :)

I love that line... "if any man says all it well, he lies. Everything is not well, everything is for the best!"

It was in the book, too. It was Voltaire's dig at Rousseau, (a supporter of Leibnitz's "best of all possible world's theory). In defense of Leibnitz, Rousseau wrote Voltaire, saying, "All is well"

This was Voltaire's way of saying, "Rousseau, not only are you an idiot for believing Leibnitz, you are doubly idiotic for getting it wrong."

I love Voltaire. :D

great entertainment indeed, but certainly not in the same spirit of Voltaire's Candide. Alas, let me go till my garden.

[SenoritaTJ]

Ha! It's funny that they have a different view of the future together.

"What are you doing to my sister? What is he doing to my sister? .... YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO MY SISTER!"

@chickensesame It's pretty hard to miss that... (I know you know that. I'm just agreeing with you)
