The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude

Who's your favorite philosopher of the enlightenment? Locke? Voltaire? Rousseau? WRONG.

Diderot is the greatest philosopher of the enlightenment because he was the only one who did shit.

Voltaire was all bark no bite, Locke had his head so far up his optimistic ass that he couldn't have implemented any of his ideas if he tried, and Rousseau was Rousseau.

All of the enlightened philosophers believed in and advocated for equal education yet Diderot was the only person to actually provide it.

With his Encyclopedia he managed to distribute knowledge regardless of social class. It started out only for the rich but with modified versions, thinner paper and less pictures, he was able to make it cheaper and available to all. It became a household item that could teach people anything they needed to know.

Was it free schooling? No. But, as a commoner, it was both the most he could do and the biggest step towards indiscrimant education that any philosopher had ever taken.

Diderot is THE best philosopher of the enlightenment, period.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Voltaire 1694-1778 

Tous les genres sont bons, hors le genre ennuyeux. All styles are good except the boring kind.

Voltaire

Le superflu, chose très nécessaire. The superfluous, a very necessary thing.

N☆U-RCHIVE! - (09.2022)

sooo this was a history project that my friend and i completely forgot to make HAHA. luckily our teacher is very kind and she allowed us to still submit it.

we're currently learning about the industry revolution, aufklarung, and such. and voltaire is one of the famous person during that era! he was surprisingly quite a scandalous man lol

i'm actually quite proud of the result. like, the information is quite alright, and the layouting is cool. not proud of how i was late though, but i think it's quite understandable as i have almost 10 projects this past two weeks hhh...

All these new people following me and i'm here like.... sorry, just my mug and doodles...? ________________________________________ #doodleoftheday #doodle #ballpointpen #pilotfrixion #illustration #inkdrawing #fanart #voltaire #aureliovoltaire #goth #gothart #wip #sketch
