<p>I didn’t read all of Candide, but I’ve read plenty of excepts (not for Euro, but another class). Although I hated Candide, I absolutely love Voltaire as a philosophe. I mean, he was so eloquent with his words… his quotes are just fabulous.</p>
<p>My personal favorite (and the one that is living on the back of my iPod)-- “Illusion is the first of all pleasures.”</p>
