Speculating on a possible source for the Voltaire quote, this article states: "Its ultimate origin may lie in a letter to M. le Riche (February 6, 1770): 'Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.'" Unfortunately, the February 6, 1770 letter to François-Louis-Henri Leriche does not include this sentence. See the Talk:Voltaire page for a discussion of this under the heading "Text of Letter." The letter is printed in full (in French) on that page. InvisibleSun 04:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
