Every successful revolution puts on in time the robes of the tyrant it has deposed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A rebellion is not a revolution. It may ultimately lead to that end.
Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.
Revolution is glorified by intellectuals, apotheosized by poets, sanctified by visionaries, and bled white by politicians.
Usually, in any revolution people are focused on who wants to have the most power. But the most important thing is the laws that are written during that time.
In revolutions authority remains with the greatest scoundrels.
Robespierre, however, was not the type of leader finally destined to emerge from the Revolution.
Few revolutions succeed, and when they do, you often discover they did not gain what you hoped for, and you condemn yourself to perpetual fear, as the parties you defeated may always regain power and work for your ruin.
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
And revolutions always mean the breakdown of old authority.
All revolutions are violent revolutions.
