Rien ne rétrécit plus l’esprit, rien n’engendre plus de riens, de rapports, de paquets, de tracasseries, de mensonges, que d’être éternellement renfermés vis-à-vis les uns des autres dans une chambre, réduits pour tout ouvrage à la nécessité de babiller continuellement.

Additional quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Bir baba, Tanrı'nın kendisine verdiği aile içinde bir seçim, bir tercih yapamaz. Tüm çocukları eşit biçimde çocuklarıdır; tümüne aynı özeni, aynı sevgiyi göstermelidir. Sakat olsunlar ya da olmasınlar, ister güçsüz ister güçlü kuvvetli olsunlar, her biri babanın elinden tutması gereken bir emanettir ve evlilik karı koca arasında olduğu gibi doğa ile de yapılmış bir sözleşmedir.

We are ever looking forward or backward, ruminating on what is past, and can return no more, or anticipating the future, which may never arrive; there is nothing solid to which the heart can attach itself, neither have we here below any pleasures that are lasting.
