No less than Michelet they were doughty falsifiers, but they lacked his vision. They dealt in knickknacks, and their trivialities were as far from creating a unified impression as were the pointillistic puzzles of modern painters and the word hashes cooked up by the decadent poets. And worst of all, thought Durtal, the biographers. The depilators! taking all the hair off a real man's chest.
These mosquitoes of public opinion, the sensation-seekers, the sentimental preachers, the lecturers, the amateurs of the thus called representative men, these oratorical falsifiers of history, but considered here as luminaries, are already at their pernicious, nay, accursed work. They poison the judgment of the people.
The real liars, conscious, malicious, wilful falsifiers, must always be a minority in the world, because their habits tend to bring them to an early grave or a reformatory. It is the people who want to tell the truth, and try to, but do not quite succeed, who are in the majority. Just look at this virtuous little volume which I was reading when you broke in upon me.
But, unfortunately for the defense, the only impression these witnesses made upon the judge and the jury was that they the witnesses were about the most shameless falsifiers of the truth that ever perjured themselves before a court of justice. The counsel for the prisoner went over the evidence for the defense in an eloquent speech, which was worse than wasted in such evil service.
This was maintained by the Shi'ites, who are unsurpassed in Islam as falsifiers of history; and the passages which, according to them, are omitted from the official Qoran would involve precisely on account of their reference to the succession, the mortality of Mohammed. All sects and parties have the same text of the Qoran.
The world is cursed with them! They possess all the elements of vagabonds, dead-beats, falsifiers, beggars, vultures, hyenas and jackals! In past ages the cross has been in partnership with the sword, and the religion of Christ was established by murderers, tyrants and hypocrites.
