Quotes
- “In eighteenth-century France there lived a man who was one of the most gifted and abominable personages in an era that knew no lack of gifted and abominable personages.”
- “The rivers stank, the marketplaces stank, the churches stank, it stank beneath the bridges and in the palaces. The peasant stank as did the priest, the apprentice as did his master’s wife, the whole of the aristocracy stank, even the king himself stank, stank like a rank lion, and the queen like an old goat, summer and winter.”
- “Their heads, up on top, at the back of the head, where the hair makes a cowlick...is where they smell best of all...Once you've smelled them there, you love them whether they’re your own or somebody else's.”
- “The odour of humans is always a fleshly odour—that is, a sinful odour.”
- “He decided in favor of life out of sheer spite and malice.”
- “Whoever has survived his own birth on a rubbish heap is not so easily shoved back out of this world again.”
