🎭 #OTD in #Theatre #History 30 March 1778, 84-year-old #Voltaire was honoured at a performance of his final play, Irène. He had been too ill to attend the premiere. A bust of the great playwright was ceremoniously crowned with a laurel wreath while eulogies were sung.
La politique est le moyen pour les hommes sans principes de diriger des hommes sans mémoire
"Politics is the way for men without principles to manage men without memory."
#Voltaire

François-Marie Arouet left Potsdam #OnThisDay in 1752 after quarreling with Frederick the Great. Friedrich der Große was a huge admirer of #Voltaire from afar, but two years of the Frenchman's residence at Sans Souci was enough to sour Frédéric le Grand on him...

I found the perfect song for my #SupervillainySaga protagonist. More authors need to pick theme songs for their characters.

Voltaire’s Letters on England is a brisk, mischievously lucid tour of English life, its Parliament and parties, its Quakers and stockjobbers, its scientists and skeptics.

LDo you judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers?”, #Voltaire asked.
"Le fanatisme et l’intolérance sont les ennemis de l’humanité et seule la raison et la justice peuvent permettre de parvenir à une société plus harmonieuse.”
Voltaire: Le traité de la tolérance

Part #philpkfick, part #dorothyparker, part #alanwatts, and part #voltaire. That’s what I see most days both in the mirror and out the window. Online, it varies, depending on the weather and the whether. Usually they’re drinking with #henrymiller, and he’s not buying. LOL.
Jamás me ha censurado @javierruiz.bsky.social -y supongo que ganas no le faltarán a veces 😁-
Cumple la ley y deja claro aquello que decía #Voltaire sobre la “perversidad” de hacer leyes para la injusticia.
Seguimos.

#Voltaire hat einmal auf die Frage eines Zöllners "Führen Sie verbotene Waren bei sich?" geantwortet mit: "Keine, außer mir selbst." Die Freiheit des Wortes war, ist und bleibt von den Mächtigen gefürchtet.

⚖️ #OTD in #History 9 March 1765, in a famous case, following a campaign by #Voltaire, Jean Calas was posthumously exonerated of murdering his son, who is believed to have committed suicide. Alas, Calas had been tortured and executed for the crime in 1762.
Es increíble y vergonzoso que esta frase siga vigente hasta nuestros tiempos 😳
...Voltaire murió hace casi 250 años.
