->There's one hole in every revolution, large or small … [[HumansAreFlawed people]]. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
-->--'''Spider Jerusalem''', ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}''

->Idealists and reformers all become executioners in their turn. The road to utopia ends with the steps of the scaffold, [[ReignOfTerror the endless moment of the guillotine.]]

->'''Tetu:''' It is not fear of my death that brings us together, Ezekiel Stane. It is fear of losing. Fear of tyranny extending itself, unchallenged, even one more day.
->'''Stane:''' Have you ever actually seen someone drawn and quartered? (Pauses) Okay, here's the thing, you say you want a revolution, [[AndThenWhat but are you ready for the future, friend]]? [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Let me tell you what is coming]]. Panic in the streets. Fire in the sky. Casualties. Agony.

-> You lacked the vision that would have shown you that God did not create men equals. Well, you are in case to-night to judge which of us was right, which wrong. You see what is happening here in Paris. You see the foul spectre of Anarchy stalking through a land fallen into confusion. Probably you have enough imagination to conceive something of what must follow. And do you deceive yourself that out of this filth and ruin there will rise up an ideal form of society?

And escaped the Cromanian leader\\
All the women are now in charge\\
But they're not great either\\
They murdered all the men\\

But after all they went through\\
I guess we kinda get it

->For thousands of Megacycles, the High Council and the so-called Elites of Cybertron repressed freedom to such an extent that it seemed the entirety of Cybertronian society was crushing down on the backs of the individual. In response to such a circumstance, Revolution is not only inevitable; it is beautiful.

->I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty. I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [[[YouMakeMeSic sic]]] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, y'know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t help, then being beheaded.

->The Settlement Defense Front built an army and broke away from the Earth with blood and violence. They aren't revolutionaries. They want absolute power. They raid colonies, take resources, and control territories by force. They use their fleet to block us from raw materials we need to survive. Their mission is to erase everything Earth born. Today, the SDF is a war machine, ruled by its military. If a leader united that force... They would mobilize, and try to take our homeland.

And we came here not as conquerors, but as liberators to return control of this city to the people. And at the first sign of interference from the outside world, or for those people attempting to flee, this anonymous Gothamite - this unsung hero - will trigger the bomb. For now, martial law is in effect. Return to your homes, hold your families close, and wait. Tomorrow you claim what is rightfully yours!"''

We got spies embedded in every nation on Earth. Already in place. I know how colonizers think. So we're gonna use their own strategy against 'em. We're gonna send vibranium weapons out to our War Dogs. They'll arm oppressed people all over the world... so they can finally rise up and kill those in power. And their children. And anyone else who takes their side. It's time they know the truth about us!"''

->Most folk suppress their rebellious urges, or channel them through fashion or song. A few, however, lash out. Churches burn. Lords are slain. Altars are desecrated and holy rites are turned upside-down to mock their sanctity. Of all [[EvilSorcerer the souls on the Path of Screams]], the most vigorous ones turn to the Darkness because the light seems so totally corrupt. When order serves no purpose other than the fatting of the rich, they say, then order should be overturned.
