—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire.

—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“There is no example in history of a revolutionary movement involving such gigantic masses being so bloodless.”
