Daily Dose

From The Huron, by Voltaire

MY SON

"'My son,' said the good old man, 'everything is physical about us; all secretions are useful to the body, and all that comforts it, comforts the soul.  We are the machines of Providence.'"

From Chapter X, The Huron is Shut Up in the Bastile with a Jansenist
