I'm getting a few tattoos done on my left arm to represent my Quebec heritage. I am looking for a short paragraph of something. ''The first literary output from Quebec occurred under the French regime with the many poems written by the early inhabitants of New France. It was, however, during the late 19th century that a novel was first published by a Quebecer.'' I would like a quote that is older and with a little meaning attached to it.. I was going to get this:

''Un homme épouvantable entre et se regarde dans la glace.

«-- Pourquoi vous regardez-vous au miroir, puisque vous ne pouvez vous y voir qu'avec déplaisir?»

L'homme épouvantable me répond: «-- Monsieur, d'après les immortels principes de 89, tous les hommes sont égaux en droits; donc je possède le droit de me mirer; avec plaisir ou déplaisir, cela ne regarde que ma conscience.»

Au nom du bon sens, j'avais sans doute raison; mais, au point de vue de la loi, il n'avait pas tort.''


But it would make no sense because its french french. I really like the saying tho..
thanks in advance!! Also sorry I wrote the question out really fast.. In a rush! :)
