runs the contamination Of the world. "Be
not ridiculous" pleaded La Rochefou-
cauld, "a blatant love Of self is the MAIN

are" sneered Pascal, "doomed TO damna-
ton, cease to strive against your own i'm
potence." La Bruyere was only little less
cruel, because he knew that 1T is useless
to fly into q passion with human beings
on account Of their greed or pride or in
justice, their neglect of others; they were
created as they are; to be angry is to be
angry with stone for falling or with a
fame for rising"
