Dans l'infini, c'est l'intelligence suprême et créatrice de l'ordre. Dans le monde, c'est l'esprit de charité. L'Être universel est-il une machine fatale qui broie éternellement des intelligences de hasard ou une intelligence providentielle qui dirige les forces pour l'amélioration des esprits...

Extrait: "Mes yeux revenaient obstinément au petit médaillon qu'il portait en épingle de cravate. Ce n'était pas un bijou: un cercle de fer de la grandeur d'un sou entourant un verre. On ne distinguait rien sur l'espèce de parchemin clair, propre à une inscription kabbalistique.

Chacun, n'écoutant que son amour-propre, se croit le juge compétent de son savoir; et la faveur élève des bustes à d'illustres ignorants."
