Kings and ladies, too
Au plus esleve throne du monde si ne sommes assis que sus nostre cul.
Les Roys et les philosophes fientent, et les damnes aussi.
Upon the highest throne in the world, we are seated, still, upon our arses.
Kings and philosophers shit: and so do ladies.
- Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
(via The Consolations of Philosophy, Alain de Botton)
