Bastille Quotes

• El breve interregno de la sociedad civil construida sobre las ruinas de la Bastilla llegó a su fin con el establecimiento de los judíos como nueva casta sacerdotal. La Iglesia alternativa de nuestra sociedad, la judía, sobrevivió en suspenso durante cientos de años. Mientras la Iglesia cristiana se ocupó del discurso, los judíos evidentemente no tenían ninguna posibilidad de competir; pero cuando su poder fue quebrantado por los buscadores de la libertad, surgió el acuerdo alternativo.

• Besides writing, I have been teaching myself to 'develop' my own photographic plates, and I haven't a stick of clothing or an exposed finger that isn't stained. I sit for hours in a dark-room feeling as if I were a very elderly Faust at some dreadful incantation, and come out of it, blinding at the light, like a Bastille prisoner. And yet I am not successful!

• I was in New York 9/11. Mark's [Wahlberg] from Boston, flew there immediately after. I was in Nice Bastille Day when the truck drove through and killed all these people. It's the new reality, unfortunately. The idea of trying to explore how we process this kind of event, how we survive emotionally, what we tell our kids: That was the movie [Patriots Day] we wanted to make.

• Most of the crew were staying in Monaco. But my family and I were actually staying in Nice because I had my whole family there and we wanted a little more space and to stay in a hotel. The truth is we were asleep [when the attack Bastille Day terror happened] and woke up the next morning to it and it was obviously horrific. And then the idea of going out and filming, it just felt so stupid to be working the next day and pretending that everything's cool when you're making some frivolous thing.

• My bad head cannot adjust itself to the way things are.... If I want to depict spring, it has to be in wintertime; if I want to describe a beautiful landscape, I must be enclosed within walls; and I have said a hundred times that if I were put in the Bastille, there I would paint a picture of liberty.

• [A mi mujer le gustaba coleccionar viejas enciclopedias de librerías de segunda mano, y llegamos a tener ocho. Cuando escribí mi primera novela histórica, en 1980, antes de que existiera Internet, las utilicé a menudo como herramienta de investigación. Por ejemplo, me enteré de que la Bastilla tenía 90 pies de altura o 100 pies o 120 pies. Esto me llevó a formular la 22ª Ley de Wilson: "La certeza pertenece exclusivamente a aquellos que sólo miran en una enciclopedia".

• He is careful to deny responsibility for September, but he does not, you notice, condemn the killings. He also refrains from killing words, sparing Roland and Buzot, as if they were beneath his notice. August 10 was illegal, he says; so too was the taking of the Bastille. What account can we take of that, in revolution? It is the nature of revolutions to break laws. We are not justices of the peace; we are legislators to a new world.
