Demander un conseil, c'est presque toujours chercher un complice.
When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.
— Adélaïde-Édouard le Lièvre, marquis de Lagrange et de Fourilles (1796 - 1876); French statesman, writer. Pensées (1872).
Note: This quotation is often falsely attributed to Saul Bellow (1915 – 2005) by those ubiquitous Internet Quotations sites whose “research” consists in cutting and pasting quotations found elsewhere on the web with no real concern as to their accuracy. I won't name any one particular site, let's just say I think of them all as "Brain-dead-quote.com".
