>Voltaire was an aristocrat of the spirit, just as Rousseau was its plebeian. Against Rousseau's doctrine of nature, against his cult of feeling, his democratic instinct, Voltaire's spirit of skepticism, of grace, of tact, and his scientific sense of reality stands out all the more sharply. Voltaire hated the lie, especially the lie of priestly superstition, just as Rousseau hated society's corruption. Voltaire sought to civilize, to refine; Rousseau sought to return to the wild. Against Rousseau I set Voltaire, and, as Voltaire did, I cry: Ecrasez l'infame!" ("Crush the infamous thing!")
>Friedrich Nietzsche
