Jeanne d’Arc (Historiated initial depicting Joan of Arc from Archives Nationales, Paris, AE II 2490, poss. 15th cent)
“Si je n’y suis [en la grâce de Dieu], Dieu m’y mette; et, si j’y suis, Dieu m’y tienne! Je serais le plus dolente de monde si je savais ne pas être en la grâce de Dieu”
— Jeanne d’Arc
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to see, I don’t want to hear…this is not my planet, I didn’t choose to be here, I don’t want to get involved, just get me out of here, and get me to a party with people I can relate to!…What I need…is a strong drink and a peer group.
Douglas Adams (1952–2001)
