— Louis Antoine de Saint-Just"Fame is an empty noise. Let us put our ears to the centuries that have gone: we no longer hear anything; those who, at another time, shall walk among our urns, shall hear no more. The good - that is what we must pursue, whatever the price, preferring the title of a dead hero to that of a living coward."

Oh, the glorious sight that met my view can never be expressed by mortal tongue
