The Man Who Was Thursday

CHAPTER XV
15/20

But is there a free soul alive that does not long to break you, only because you have never been broken?
We in revolt talk all kind of nonsense doubtless about this crime or that crime of the Government.

It is all folly! The only crime of the Government is that it governs.

The unpardonable sin of the supreme power is that it is supreme.

I do not curse you for being cruel.
I do not curse you (though I might) for being kind.

I curse you for being safe! You sit in your chairs of stone, and have never come down from them.
