“ Every human virtue and every vice has been fashionable for a while and then unfashionable. Physical strength had its moment. So did martial skills. Bravery is sometimes more and sometimes less well thought of. The more a thing is common the less it is valued and the less it is praised. ”
Denis Diderot, Jacques the Fatalist and his Master (1796). copy citation
