The Human Race

Voltaire, Zadig, Chapter IX (tr. Tobias Smollett):
He then represented to himself the human species, as it really is, as a parcel of insects devouring one another on a little atom of clay.

Il se figurait alors les hommes tels qu'ils sont en effet, des insectes se dévorant les uns les autres sur un petit atome de boue.
