    9 An astonishing claim from a country that survives on per capita dirty-power exports that make it among the greatest polluters in history—but why spoil a good story?

    13 Hugo wrote, “On resiste à l’invasion des armées; on ne résiste pas à l’invasion des idées,” in Histoire d’un crime: Déposition d’un témoin (Paris: Nelson, 1907), 554, which is often rendered in English as the cliché I have just used. The next sentence is “La gloire des barbares est d’être conquis par l’humanité; la gloire des sauvages est d’être conquis par la civilization,” which translates as “The glory of barbarians is to be conquered by humanity; the glory of savages is to be conquered by civilization.” Thanks for sharing, Vic.
