Quit yer bitchin'!

[bholdr]

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?"
