As I seldom read in histories of such disorders in other states without regretting that I could not be present to get a closer view of them, so my curiosity makes me in some way congratulate myself on being a witness of this noteworthy spectacle and seeing our society’s death, its symptoms and its nature. And, since I am unable to delay it, I am content that I was destined to be a spectator of it and to get instructions from it.
From “On Physiognomy”
By Michel De Montaigne
