Maximillian Robespierre

“The Revolution is the war waged by freedom against its foes…To good citizens, Revolutionary government owes the complete protection of the nation; to the enemies of the people it owes only death”

Robspierre on the Reign of Terror

“ It is important to annihilate both the internal and external enemies of the Republic or perish with its fall. Now, in this situation your political maxim should be that one guides the people by reason, and the enemies of the people by terror.

If the driving force of popular government in peacetime is virtue that of popular government during revolution is both virtue and terror: virtue, with out terror is destructive; terror without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice that is prompt severe and inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a consequence of the general principle of democracy applied to the most pressing needs of the patrie (nation)”

Jean-Paul Marat

“I believe in the cutting off of heads.”
