Justice
« La justice humaine est […] pour moi ce qu’il y a de plus bouffon au monde ; un homme en jugeant un autre est un spectacle qui me ferait crever de rire, s’il ne me faisait pitié, et si je n’étais forcé maintenant d’étudier la série d’absurdités en vertu de quoi il le juge. Je ne vois rien de plus bête que le Droit, si ce n’est l’étude du Droit ; j’y travaille avec un extrême dégoût et ça m’ôte tout cœur et tout esprit pour le reste. »
Flaubert, correspondance
