“Liberty is to faction what air is to fire...”
“What light is to the eyes – what air is to the lungs – what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.”
“Inequality is everywhere at the bottom of faction, for in general faction arises from men's striving for what is equal.”
“The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire”
“Into the the air, into the earth, into the fire, I am with you.”
“What is the good of telling a community that it has every liberty except the liberty to make laws? The liberty to make laws is what constitutes a free people.”
