"Mardi 16 juin. — Toutes les fois que j’ai été au Jardin des Plantes, j’ai été frappé de la rencontre, qu’on y fait de femmes, bizarres, originales, excentriques, exotiques, inclassables, et que le contact avec l’animalité de l’endroit semble disposer aux aventures de l’amour physique."
--Journal des Goncourt
"Every time I’ve been to the Jardin des Plantes, I’ve been struck by how one encounters women there who are bizarre, original, eccentric, exotic, unclassifiable, and how contact with the animal nature of the place seems to promote adventures involving physical love." --Journal of the Goncourts, cited in Bodies of Art: French Literary Realism and the Artist's Model, Marie Lathers
