Gleichheit

Gleichheit
Gleichheit ist eine Hauptstütze der Billigkeit.
Und wer hat sich zu beklagen,
wenn gleichen Brüdern gleiche Kappen zugeschnitten werden?

Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

I like the photo.
The (old) French text is :
L’equalité est la premiere piece de l’equité. Qui se peut plaindre d’estre comprins où tous sont comprins ?
Essais, I, 19, Que philosopher, c’est apprendre a mourir.
Which I translate in my poor English :
Equality is the first piece of equity. Who can complain of being concerned by something that concerns everyone ?
The caps seem to be from the German translator, though Montaigne loved images, too. And if you copy-paste the German quote to Google Translate it into French, Kappen is understood as “buttons”. Sometimes Google Translate seems to be improving, then it drops down again.

It reminds me of that Kraftwerk number, "We Are Showroom Dummies." Nice shot.
