I had rather be guillotined than a guillotiner.

My only regret is that I'm going before that rat, Robespierre! [to his executioner] Don't forget to show my head to the people; it's well worth seeing.

In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.

One must never compromise with tyrants. One can only strike at kings through the head. Nothing can be expected from European kings except by force of arms. I vote for the death of the tyrant.

After bread, education is the first need of the people.

Let us be terrible in order to prevent the people from being terrible themselves!

I have left my balls to Robespierre and my legs to Couthon. That should help the Committee of Public Safety for a while.

Boldness, more boldness, and perpetual boldness!.

You [Robespierre] will follow us soon. Your house will be beaten down and salt sown in the place where it stood.

To conquer [our enemies] we must dare, and dare again, and dare for ever; and thus will France be saved

In revolutions authority remains with the greatest scoundrels.

A bull that allows a he goat to deter it from moving forward is nothing but a mere he goat

And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.

Time ... advances like the slowest tide, but retreats like the swiftest torrent.

If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.

I think plays, like books, are endemic. They grow out of the soil of the writer and the place he's writing about. I think, you just can't move them about, you know.

To understand everything is to hate nothing.

The energy that moves across the ocean connects all surfers who ride it.

I work with pen and paper. That's my favorite way to write. I love the way the ink sinks into the wood, soaks into the wood pulp. There's something about that process that's so organic.
