His works gave "an expression in paint for the desperate violence of his spiritual hunger....".

About the events of 5–6 October 1789, when the royal family was marched from Versailles to Paris by a group of angry housewives, Burke praised Queen Marie Antoinette as a symbol of the refined elegance of the ancien régime, who was surrounded by 'furies from hell, in the abused shape of the vilest of women'.

Prince Khilkov informed Emperor Peter in 1703 "Better to be a prisoner of the Turks than the Swedes: here a Russian is of no account, they insult and dishonour him; I and the generals are under constant guard; if anyone needs to go somewhere, a guard with a loaded musket is always with him; they torture our merchants with heavy labours, despite all my representations". In 1711 most of the prisoners of war were exchanged, but Prince Khilkov remained in Sweden.
Joseph Schacht quotes a hadith by Muhammad that is used "to justify reference" in Islamic law to the companions of Muhammad as religious authorities — "My companions are like lodestars."see also According to Schacht, (and other scholars)Ignaz Goldziher, ‘’The Zahiris: Their Doctrine and their History’’, trans and ed. Wolfgang Behn (Leiden, 1971), 20 ffBrown, Rethinking tradition in modern Islamic thought, 1996: p.7 in the very first generations after the death of Muhammad, use of hadith from Sahabah ("companions" of Muhammad) and Tabi‘un ("successors" of the companions) "was the rule", while use of hadith of Muhammad himself by Muslims was "the exception". Schacht credits Al-Shafi‘i — founder of the Shafi'i school of fiqh (or madh'hab) — with establishing the principle of the use of the hadith of the Muhammad for Islamic law, and emphasizing the inferiority of hadith of anyone else, saying hadiths > "from other persons are of no account in the face of a tradition from the > Prophet, whether they confirm or contradict it; if the other persons had > been aware of the tradition from the Prophet, they would have followed it".
