Quit yer bitchin\'!
Voltaire is one of my favroite people in history. I hesitate to call him a philosopher, though he was, though not in the conventional sense. He was mostly famous as a supreme conversationalist, that is, he was thought of as the most intresting person in the world in his time. anyway...
Someone once remarked to him that:
"life is hard"
to which Voltaire replied in his typical concise and razor-sharp manner:
"compared to what?"
