      "J'entends déjà ricaner les cyniques, les habiles, les réalistes, tous les petits malins à qui on ne la fait pas, et qui vont dire : la douceur, combien de divisions ? S'il faut défendre la douceur, c'est contre ces faibles-là, parce qu'ils sont les plus nombreux, et partant les plus forts. Mais comment la défendrons-nous ? On n'imagine pas un Manifeste, ni même un Traité de la douceur: trop de bruit, trop de gestes. L'éloge ici convient, qui fera un livre aux contours incertains, ruais que la gaieté continûment inspire ; je ne sache pas qu'elle exclue la fermeté, ou la force."
