I am not of any faction, I will fight them all.
When a people, having become free, establish wise laws, their revolution is complete.
Insurrection is the exclusive right of the people and of the citizen. Every foreigner, every man clothed with public authority, is outlawed if he proposes it and must be put to death as a usurper of sovereignty and as interested in fomenting troubles for the purpose of doing evil or of adorning himself. Insurrections taking place under a despotism are always salutary. Those which break out in a free state are sometimes dangerous for liberty itself, because the revolt usurps its sublime pretexts and its sacred name. Revolts in free states leave long and painful wounds which bleed a whole century.
In the circumstances in which the Republic finds itself, the constitution cannot be inaugurated; it would destroy itself … The provisional government of France is revolutionary until there is peace.
