[2] a word that should be pronounced as “mirage”;
[3] an event, for the upper middle class, is the only adventure left;
[4] a very good way to promote civilization — if you get a good wife you will be happy, if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher {Socrates}

[18] that ceremony which makes more strange bedfellows than politics;
