• El reino del terror al que se sometió Francia ha sido calificado más justamente como "el reino de la cobardía". No se sabe a quién execrar más, si a la nación que pudo someterse a sufrir tales atrocidades, o a ese demagogo bajo y sanguinario que pudo infligirlas. Francia, al sucumbir ante un miserable como Robespierre, exhibió, no su paciencia, sino su pusilanimidad.

• Todo el famoso Reinado del Terror [de la década de 1790] guillotinó en quince meses a 2.596 aristos. Los Versaillistas [los anticomunistas de 1871] ejecutaron a 20.000 ante sus pelotones de fusilamiento en una semana. ¿Representan estas cifras la eficacia comparativa de la guillotina y el fusil moderno o la crueldad comparativa de las turbas de clase alta y baja?

• ...it was a huge creature, luminous, ghastly, and spectral. I have cross-examined these men, one of them a hard-headed countryman, one a farrier, and one a moorland farmer, who all tell the same story of this dreadful apparition, exactly corresponding to the hell-hound of the legend. I assure you that there is a reign of terror in the district, and that it is a hardy man who will cross the moor at night.

• Every woman who has had experience with sexual violence of any kind has not just pain, and not just hurt, but has knowledge. Knowledge of male supremacy. Knowledge of what it is. Knowledge of what it feels like. And can begin to think strategically about how to stop it. We are living under a reign of terror. Now what I want to say is that I want us to stop accepting that that's normal. And the only way that we can stop accepting that that's normal is if we refuse to have amnesia everyday of our lives.

• La idea más extravagante que puede nacer en la cabeza de un pensador político es creer que basta con entrar, armas en mano, entre un pueblo extranjero y esperar que se acojan sus leyes y su constitución.

• La reverencia acrítica a los Padres Fundadores fue menos omnipresente mientras vivieron. . . . "El Reino del Terror que asoló América durante el final de la Administración de Washington, y durante toda la de Adams, está envuelto en misterio para mí. Que había hombres en el Gobierno hostiles al sistema representativo, fue una vez su brindis, aunque ahora es su derrocamiento, y por lo tanto el hecho se establece en contra de ellos."

• Visa for Avalon is a testament to the power of fiction. It illuminates the truth at the heart of what is commonly called reality.
