Georges Danton (quoted by Tom Holland)
Appearances
The Rest Is History
544. The French Revolution: The September Massacres (Part 1)
The homeland will be saved. Everything is in motion. Everyone burns to fight. While one part of the people goes to the frontiers, a second digs our defenses, and a third, armed with pikes, will defend our cities and towns. We ask that whoever refuses to serve or to give up his weapons shall be punished with death.
The Rest Is History
544. The French Revolution: The September Massacres (Part 1)
The toxin that will ring out will not be a signal of alarm, but a call to charge against the enemies of the homeland. To vanquish them, gentlemen, we need to dare, to dare, and to dare again. And then, France will be saved.
