When there was no dispute going on， it was so wearisome that the old woman one day boldly said to him： "I should like to know which is worse to be ravished a hundred times by Negro pirates， to have one's rump gashed， or be switched by the Bulgarians， to be scourged or hung in an auto-da-fé， to be cut to pieces， to row in the galleys， to suffer any misery through which we have passed， or sit still and do nothing？" - "That is the great question，" said Candide.

My father spoke with Madame de Puisieux on the ease with which licentious works were composed； he contended that it was only necessary to find an arousing idea as a peg to hang others on in which intellectual libertinism should be a substitute for taste. She challenged him to produce on of this kind. At the end of a fortnight he brought her 'Les bijoux indiscrets' and fifty louis."
