Chapter 22 of candide
Candide concludes that outside of El Dorado there are no gentlemen.... the men in Europe are nothing but animals.
“Ah, the monsters!” cried Candide. “What horrors among a people who dance and sing! Is there no way of getting quickly out of this country where monkeys provoke tigers? I have seen no bears in my country, but men I have beheld nowhere except in El Dorado. In the name of God, sir, conduct me to Venice, where I am to await Miss Cunegonde.”
