“Without the cabarets, wouldn’t the government be overthrown every Tuesday? Fortunately, on Tuesday, this people is dulled, has slept off it’s pleasure, has not a penny left, and returns to work, to dry bread, stimulated by a need for material reproduction that has become a habit for it.”
- from Honoré de Balzac’s “The Girl With The Golden Eyes”
