François Rabelais (on his deathbed)

Readers, friends, if you turn these pages

Put your prejudice aside,

For, really, there’s nothing here that’s outrageous,

Nothing sick, or bad — or contagious.

Not that I sit here glowing with pride

For my book: all you’ll find is laughter:

That’s all the glory my heart is after,

Seeing how sorrow eats you, defeats you.

I’d rather write about laughing than crying,

For laughter makes men human, and courageous.

BE HAPPY!

François Rabelais
