Weatherbox - The Cosmic Drama
"But there do exist, I can assure you, souls that are feeling and pure; it does exist, that tender, imperious and irresistible passion, the torment and delight of magnanimous hearts; that deep horror of tyranny, that compassionate zeal for the oppressed, that sacred love for the homeland, that even more sublime and holy love for humanity, without which a great revolution is just a noisy crime that destroys another crime; it does exist, that generous ambition to establish here on earth the world's first Republic." - Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre
