Mentalité de Siège

“Death is part of revolutionary action, which itself is an act of love to which one is totally committed, and not one where one calculates the consequences. Consequently, what rules are relevant? Personally, I do not believe in the final value of national or international laws. There is man, and that is all; there those I like and those I do not. It is the merit of revolutionary combat that it has done away with illusionary distinctions; there are not national wars on the one hand and civil wars on the other; a friend is a friend, an enemy and enemy, even if he is from the same country as yourself.”
