In a few days, I will have them all guillotined in Paris.

How could liberty ever establish itself amongst us? Apart from a few tragic scenes, the revolution has been nothing but a web of farcical scenes.

Five or six hundred heads cut off would have assured your repose, freedom and happiness.

Five or six hundred [aristocratic] heads lopped off would have assured you repose and happiness; a false humanity has restrained your arm and suspended your blows; it will cost the lives of millions of your brothers.

It is the height of stupidity to claim that men who for a thousand years have had the power to berate us, to fleece us and to oppress us with impunity, will now agree, with good grace, to be our equals.

Man has the right to deal with his oppressors by devouring their palpitating hearts.

In a few days, I will have them all guillotined in Paris.
