Roger de Rabutin:
Comte de Bussy (13 April 1618 – 9 April 1693)
Commonly known as Bussy-Rabutin, was a French memoirist. He was the cousin and frequent correspondent of Madame de Sévigné.
Born at Epiry, near Autun, he represented a family of distinction in Burgundy, and his father, Léonor de Rabutin, was lieutenant general of the province of Nivernais.
Love comes from blindness, and friendship from knowledge.
