What is the goal toward which we are heading? The peaceful enjoyment
of liberty and equality; the reign of that eternal justice whose laws
have been inscribed, not in marble and stone, but in the hearts of all
men, even in that of the slave who forgets them and in that of the
tyrant who denies them.- MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE, THE POLITICAL
PHILOSOPHY OF TERROR, SPEECH TO THE CONVENTION,  FEBRUARY 5, 1794, The
Reign of Terror, which ended with his arrest and execution in 1794

Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes;
and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
-- Aldous Huxley, Adonis and the Alphabet, 1956

Only one more indispensible massacre of Capitalists or Communists or
Fascists or Christians or Heretics, and there we are--there we are in
the Golden Future.
-- Huxley, Time Must Have A Stop, 1944
