My Lady Baroness, who weighed three hundred and fifty pounds, consequently was a person of no small consideration; and then she did the honors of the house with a dignity that commanded universal respect. Her daughter was about seventeen years of age, fresh-colored, comely, plump, and desirable. The Baron's son seemed to be a youth in every respect worthy of the father he sprung from. Pangloss, the preceptor, was the oracle of the family, and little Candide listened to his instructions with all the simplicity natural to his age and disposition.

Сто пати сакав да се убијам, но уште сакав да живеам. Таа смешна слабост е можеби една од најстрашните на нашите природни склоности; бидејќи има ли нешто поглупаво отколку непрекинато со себе да се влече товарот кој постојано сакаме да го отфрлиме? Да се грозиш од сопствениот живот и да го сакаш тој живот.
