1 " He [Eugène Rougon] believed exclusively in himself; where another saw reasons, Rougon possessed convictions; he subordinated everything to the incessant aggrandisement of his own ego. Despite being utterly devoid of real self-indulgence, he nevertheless indulged in secret orgies of supreme power. "
― Émile Zola , Son Excellence Eugène Rougon (Les Rougon-Macquart, #6)
