"The Americans who discovered - or invented-him made him the archetype of the Reader's Digest Most Unforgettable Character I ever met. That he certainly was, but mainly for other reasons. A charming, tyrannical Vercingetorix, paradoxical and dogmatic, this droll and malicious 'artist' took himself for the real Doctor Schweitzer. At the time I had not yet encountered the genuine 'Protestant'. Today I have. Hence I no longer find the 'good Doctors' Spartan rigor and canny showmanship contradictory." (Jean-Philippe Charbonnier)
