Il faut bien le dire - et ce n'est pas la moindre de ses curiosités - l'automobilisme est une maladie, une maladie mentale. Et cette maladie s'appelle d'un nom très joli: la vitesse. Avez-vous remarqué comme les maladies ont presque toujours des noms charmants ? La scarlatine, l'angine, la rougeole, le béri-béri, l'adénite, etc. Avez-vous remarqué aussi que, plus les noms sont charmants, plus méchantes sont les maladies ?... Je m'extasie à répéter que la nôtre se nomme: la vitesse... Non pas la vitesse mécanique qui emporte la machine sur les routes, à travers pays et pays, mais la vitesse, en quelque sorte névropathique, qui emporte l'homme à travers toutes ses actions et ses distractions... (Octave Mirbeau, La 628-E8)
