Voltaire (Katie Allen)

Hello, my name is Voltaire. My real name is François-Marie Arouet. I was born on November 21st, 1694 in Paris, France. My father was Francois Arouet, a lawyer, and my mothers name was Marie Marguerite d'Aumart. When I was younger I attended school at College Louis-le-Grand. There I learned Latin, Greek, and later on, Italian, Spanish, and English. I spent most of my life in Paris and decided after schooling that I wanted to be a writer. I wrote alot of poetry. Later on, my father found out about my writing and disaproved, but still I continued to write. I started to write about my beliefs, about everything going on in France. I believe that we need both power from the people and government. I also believe that humans are born evil and lived my life preaching this.
