Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need quotation research help -- Voltaire to be precise. I have a memory of a quote that translates and paraphrases to "well, it mightn't be better, but at least it's different."

Can anyone point me to the French?

Thanks. It's not on the English page, but it'll take me a bit longer to go through the French. Curse my failing memory.

Per the quote index at Bartleby [link] Voltaire quotes fall between here [link] and here [link] Some are only in English. Some are in both French and English.

It's definitely that first one! Thanks! That'll make the French much easier to find.
