I can see no justice in such a denial of freedom.
The revolutionary spirit, in fact, was as much the product of the past as the very institutions it came to condemn.
The main thing was to be rid of the Divine Right of kings.
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
