For Le Salaud Lumineux  ("The Brilliant Bastard"),
a Devil's advocate who reportedly died on August 15—
a quotation from this journal linked to here on that date—

"To me, the most genuine last words are those
that arise naturally from the moment, such as
Voltaire’s response to a request that he forswear
Satan: 'This is no time to make new enemies.' "

* Le Théâtre de la Madeleine  is apparently named for
 its proximity to L'Église de la Madeleine .
