Candide is one of my most favorite works of all time, and I am incredibly excited that someone picked it. I for sure think it needs to be preserved, as its messages are timeless. The status quo is far too often accepted as our modus operandi, and in many cases is far too ridiculous. Voltaire has so many good points about accepting our world for what it is and acting upon that acceptance.

I really like the comparison to Swift's work. I have often envisioned the two discussing their works with one another. If these two could have said anything to one another, what topics do you think would have been their central discussion?
