""Ernstlich beschaue man den Misanthrop und frage sich, ob jemals ein Dichter sein Inneres vollkommener und liebenswürdiger dargestellt habe? Wir möchten gern Inhalt und Behandlung dieses Stückes tragisch nennen, einen solchen Eindruck hat es wenigstens jederzeit bei uns zurückgelassen, weil dasjenige vor Blick und Geist gebracht wird, was uns oft selbst zur Verzweiflung bringt und wie ihn aus der Welt jagen möchte." – über Molière, Schriften zur Literatur. Histoire de la Vie et les Ouvrages de Molière (Der Misanthrop])"
