Une compagnie de graves tyrans est inaccessible ? toutes les séductions.
--
A company of solemn tyrants is impervious to all seductions.

"Tyranny" (1764).Voltaire
There are four hundred neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily. All because one man went to sleep on the job. But they are German graves, because we caught the bastard asleep before they did.
George S. Patton
Il est défendu de tuer; tout meurtrier est puni, ? moins qu’il n’ait tué en grande compagnie, et au son des trompettes.
Voltaire
Graves is such a professional surpriser that only a conventional opinion from him could still shock us. It has been a unique privilege of our time to watch the building of Graves, from shell-shocked schoolboy in World War I to Mediterranean warlock, encanting at the Moon. As an expatriate in Majorca, Graves remains a bit of an Edwardian tease, as willful and unflaggingly facetious as a Sitwell; yet in another sense, he has grown more fully and richly than is given to most. His literary opinions are so quirky that they seem designed solely to start lengthy feuds in the London Times; yet in terms of his own art they are not quirky at all.
Robert Graves
Tremblez, tyrans, vous ?tes immortels.
Jacques Delille
Les habiles tyrans ne sont jamais punis.
