Almost all old quotes need to be corrected, Joyce said in a tone that forbids arguing. For example, the guy who mentioned marriages being made in heaven was definitely wrong. He meant partnerships. The same jobs dont work for both, no more than you can build a stopwatch in a fraction of a second.
Émile Zola
Dans Paris, Zola aborde a nouveau le probleme social de la stratification des classes. Le personnage principal, Pierre, en tant que pretre, devient désillusionné avec la religion, réalisant son inutilité. Lui aussi, comme son frere Guillaume, commence a croire au triomphe de la science. Cependant, il appelle a lutter contre la religion et la bourgeoisie non pas a laide de mesures radicales telles que la destruction de tout ce qui est généré par une société bourgeoise injuste, mais a travers lintroduction de la réussite scientifique, la reconnaissance de leurs avantages.
