We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces.
Georg Buchner
Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.
They say in the grave there is peace, and peace and the grave are one and the same.
Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children.
The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.
The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.
The stars are scattered all over the sky like shimmering tears, there must be great pain in the eye from which they trickled.
The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world.

We are always on stage, even when we are stabbed in earnest at the end.
The strides of humanity are slow, they can only be counted in centuries.
The power of the people and the power of reason are one.
Peace to the shacks! War on the palaces!
We have not made the Revolution, the Revolution has made us.
That is a long word: forever!
Death is the most blessed dream.
Love is a peculiar thing.
You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.

Raise your eyes and count the small gang of your oppressors who are only strong through the blood they suck from you and through your arms which you lend them unwillingly.
The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday.
A good man with a good conscience doesn't walk so fast.
Your words smell of corpses.
Dying people often become childish.
There are only Epicureans, either crude or refined; Christ was the most refined.
How many women does one need to sing the scale of love all the way up and down?
Government must be a transparent garment which tightly clings to the people's body.
The revolutionary government is the despotism of liberty against tyranny.
The weapon of the Republic is terror, and virtue is its strength.
