Jacques Pierre Brissot quotes
-
“The disorganisers are those who want to level everything: property, comforts, the price of commodities, the various services rendered to the State... who want the workmen in the camp to receive the salary of the legislator... who want to level even talents, knowledge, the virtues, because they themselves have none of these things.”
-- Jacques Pierre Brissot -
“We must institute a coup d'etat, a third revolution, which must beat down anarchy. Dissolve the Paris Commune and destroy its sections! Dissolve the clubs, which preach disorder and equality! Close the Jacobin Club and seal up its papers! ... The triumvirate of Robespierre, Danton and Marat, all the 'levellers', all the anarchists. Then a new Convention will be elected.”
-- Jacques Pierre Brissot -
“It is less difficult for a woman to obtain celebrity by her genius than to be forgiven for it.”
-- Jacques Pierre Brissot
