THERE'S NO DOUBT, MONSIEUR RIFLOT, THE LAW OF PETITION IS SACRED, BUT IT IS BEING ABUSED. LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE WE JUST DISCUSSED: THEY WANT TO TAX BACHELORS, SINCE THEY ARE USELESS FOR SOCIETY. I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE MARRIED PEOPLE.... I MUST ALSO SAY THAT I KNOW OF NO-ONE WHO HAS DONE AS MUCH FOR SOCIETY, AS I, COQUELET DID.
Honoré Daumier
There's no doubt, Monsieur Riflot, the law of petition is sacred, but it is being abused. Look at the example we just discussed: they want to tax bachelors, since they are useless for society. I feel sorry for all the married people.... I must also say that I know of no-one who has done as much for society, as I, Coquelet did.

PARISIANS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. - AREN'T WE A BIT TOO AUDACIOUS TO GET INVOLVED IN SUCH AN ADVENTURE.... DOWN THERE I SEE SOMETHING RATHER DISTURBING... I AM NOT SURE WHETHER IT IS WISE TO ADVANCE ANY FURTHER. - BUT I THINK THESE ARE SIMPLY MILLSTONES... - AND I WAS AFRAID THESE MIGHT BE THE HUTS OF SOME SAVAGES!
Honoré Daumier
Parisians in the countryside. - Aren't we a bit too audacious to get involved in such an adventure.... down there I see something rather disturbing... I am not sure whether it is wise to advance any further. - But I think these are simply millstones... - And I was afraid these might be the huts of some savages!
