C’est singulier comme ce miroir m’aplatit la taille et me maigrit la poitrine!…Que m’importe?…Mme. de Staël et Mr. de Buffon l’ont proclamé…le génie n’a point de sexe. (Isn’t it strange how this mirror flattens my waist and reduces my bust…but what does that matter?…Mme de Stael and Mr de Buffon clearly said: genius has no sex.) from the series Les Bas-blues (Bluestockings) ()
