So what is it exactly that makes these quotes the 11 most important? I certainly get that they're important, at least as far as a history of philosophy is concerned, but what makes Leibniz's best of all possible worlds particularly "important"? It's important to his philosophy, and to Voltaire, but how does it really merit its inclusion here? This whole list seems peculiarly unargued for one concerning philosophy.
