“Of my private life I have nothing to say: it does not concern others. I have always had little liking for autobiographies and have no interest in anyone’s affairs. History proper and novels hold no attractions for me except insofar as, I can discern there, as within our immortal revolution, the adventures of the mind.”
– Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Confessions of a Revolutionary
