Whoever has really seen Russia will find himself content to live anywhere else. It is always good to know that a society exists where no happiness is possible because, by a law of nature, man cannot be happy unless he is free.

Quiconque a bien vu ce pays, se trouvera content de vivre partout ailleurs. Il est toujours bon de savoir qu'il existe une société où nul bonheur n'est possible parce que par une loi de sa nature, l'homme ne peut être heureux sans liberté.

Astolphe de Custine
