"I stayed three weeks in Paris, fell in love with the city, and decided that I was born to live in Paris."

L'homme est ne   pour la socie  te  ; se  parez-le, isolez-le, ses ide  es se de  suniront, son caracte'  re se tournera, mille affections ridicules s'e  le'  veront dans son coeur; des 274 pense  es extravagantes germeront dans son esprit, comme les ronces dans une terre sauvage. Man is born to live in society: separate him, isolate him, and his ideas disintegrate, his character changes, a thousand ridiculous affectations rise up in his heart; extreme thoughts take hold in his mind, like the brambles in a wild field.

— Denis Diderot
