Certainly so, but this point of view shouldn't prevent you reading
some Voltaire ... 'Candide' on his views on optimism, and the
following quote: /Le divorce est probablement de la même date à peu
près que le mariage. Je crois pourtant que le mariage est de quelques
semaines plus ancien./ Divorce is probably of nearly the same age as
marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more
ancient. "Divorce" (1771)
As always when you read Voltaire, take it with a grain of salt.
