Sieys: What is the Third Estate? Everything. What has it been hitherto in the political order? Nothing. What does it desire to be? Something. Robespierre: virtue, without which terror is fatal; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is nothing other than prompt, severe, inflexible justiceThe government in a revolution is the despotism of liberty against tyranny Edmund Burke: The French had shown themselves the ablest architects of ruin that had hitherto existed in the world. In that very short space of time they had completely pulled down to the ground, their monarchy, their church, their nobility, their law, their revenue, their army, their navySociety is indeed a contract, but a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are dead, and those who are to be born
