In Germany, the judicial system has been the whore of the German princes for centuries. - Georg Büchner

The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one’s own nature.

One must love humanity in order to reach out into the unique essence of each individual: no one can be too low or too ugly.

We have not made the Revolution, the Revolution has made us.
