Hilary Mantel Quotes

Suppose He Found That Persistent Unsparing Voice At His Elbow One Day, Claiming That Danton Lacked Probity; He Had An Answer, Pat, Not A Logical One, But One Sufficiently Chilling To Put Logic In Abeyance. To Question Danton's Patriotism Was To Cast In Doubt The Whole Revolution. A Tree Is Known By Its Fruits, And Danton Made August 10. First He Made The Republic Of The Cordeliers, Then He Made The Republic Of France. If Danton Is Not A Patriot, Then We Have Been Criminally Negligent In The Nation's Affairs. If Danton Is Not A Patriot, We Are Not Patriots Either. If Danton Is Not A Patriot, Then The Whole Thing - From May '89 - Must Be Done Again.
