"One resists the invasion of armies; one..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“My greatness does not extend to this shelf.”

“I represent a party which does not yet exist: the party Revolution-Civilization. This party will make the twentieth century. There will issue from it first the United States of Europe, then the United States of the World.”

“Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.”

“Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.”

“All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”

“Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office!”

“We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.”

“The division into whig and tory is founded in the nature of men; the weakly and nerveless, the rich and the corrupt, seeing more safety and accessibility in a strong executive; the healthy, firm, and virtuous, feeling confidence in their physical and moral resources, and willing to part with only so much power as is necessary for their good government; and, therefore, to retain the rest in the hands of the many, the division will substantially be into Whig and Tory.”

“When war is raging the laws are dumb.”
