Additional quotes by Antoine Houdar de La Motte

Des états la sombre origine,
Les progrès, l’éclat, la ruine
Repassent encore sous nos yeux;
Et, présens à tout, nous y sommes
Contemporains de tous les horames,
Et citoyens de tous les lieux.

(Partout l'œeil surpris admire)
Un désordre plein de beauté.

Give to all men the same intelligence,
The salt you banish of society.
Boredom was born one day of Uniformity.

All's commonplace, all has been said before. Great conquerors have cried for a new world, But, as I think, the Rhymesters need one more. - Antoine Houdar de La Motte
