La tyrannie de mon maître finit par me rendre insupportable le travail que j'aurais aimé, et par me donner des vices que j'aurais haïs, - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

God makes all things good; man meddles with them and they become evil. He forces one soil to yield the products of another, one tree to bear another's fruit. He confuses and confounds time, places, and natural conditions. He mutilates his dog, his horses, and his slaves. He destroys and defaces all things; he loves all that is deformed and monstrous; he will have nothing as nature made it, not even man himself, who must learn his paces like a saddle-horse, and be shaped to his master's taste like the trees in his garden.

Vivir no es respirar, es obrar.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth century Europe.
