"We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

"It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes."

"Revolution is the accession of the peoples, and, at the bottom, the People is Man."
