Robespierre the younger, taking his brother’s hand: I ask for an act of accusation against me also. I want to die with my brother. Lebas: Me too.
Session of 9 thermidor, as reported in the journal Le Républicain français, number 614 (July 30 1794)
Finding out the whole ”the blood of Danton chokes him” line is as good as apocryphal was compensated by this.

“You want to be brothers-in-arms, to have him to yourself… to be shipwrecked together, (to) perform valiant deeds to earn his admiration, to save him from certain death, to die for him - to die in his arms, like a Spartan, kissed once on the lips… or just run his errands in the meanwhile. You want him to know what cannot be spoken, and to make the perfect reply, in the same language.”
— Tom Stoppard, The Invention of Love
Joyeux anniversaire, Robespierre. Wherever you are, thank you again and here's to another year.
*The biography is called Robespierre: A Revolutionary Life. For the Introduction's title, Peter Mcphee was in fact referencing another quote by another biographer (Janet Malcolm) for a different biography.
"no man has the right to build up mountains of wheat beside his fellow man dying of hunger. What is the first object of society? It is to maintain the inalienable rights of man. What is the first of those rights? That of existence.
The first law of society therefore is that which guarantees all members of society the means of existence; all the rest are subordinate to that one..."
—Maximilien Robespierre, December 2, 1792, Robespierre: a Revolutionary Life by Peter McPhee
Happy birthday, Robespierre!

“Death is the beginning of immortality.”
— Maximilien Robespierre in his last speech two days before his execution, July 26th 1794 (via sonofhistory)
Request from beinglionhearted
“I do not know you, but you are a great man. You are not only the deputy of a province, you are one of humanity and of the Republic. Please, make it that my request be not despised.”
- From Saint-Just to Maximilien Robespierre, August 19th, 1790

i am normal and can be trusted with The Historical Figure
If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.
Other websites that let you do this:
Johnson's Dictionary Online (thanks @yellowbelliedtoad!) – 1755 and 1773
Green's Dictionary of Slang – 1300s to today
A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue – 1788
Feraud's Dictionaire critique de la langue française – 1778
A dictionary of the English and Italian languages by Giuseppe Baretti is a bilingual dictionary from 1790!
(when I write Jane Austen fan fiction, I only use words she used, which doesn't restrict me very much because she had a massive vocabulary)
The Intruder, c. 1910 by Leonard Campbell Taylor (English, 1874-1969)

every time a person who hates 18th century wigs sets their story in the 18th century, an angel loses its wings
#if you hate the distinguishing features of an era then maybe choose another one to set your story in?? #there's plenty of eras to choose from #whoever wrote this is the same kind of person who sets a tv show in the 18th century and gives the male lead unstyled hair & stubble #and modern pants. Just don't set your show in the 18th century if you hate it so much!! (via)

Teenage Lucile Desmoulins being #relatable compilation
Source: Lucile’s diary from 1788 and 1789
1788
Friday 27 — I want to finish my story, I cannot finish it! I pick up the pen, I want to write, but nothing comes…
Monday 30 — […] I had fun breaking dead wood, then I found a snail. I examined it a little, I broke its shell, but having fallen onto my stomach it made me cry out loud, because this ugly beast was crawling on my stomach!
Sunday 5 — […] After dinner, I went upstairs to read a few passages from Grandisson, but I had to go back down to go for a walk with everyone, which annoyed me quite a bit, because I would have liked to read forever.
Monday 6 — I didn’t go out all morning, I did nothing but read.
Monday 21 — […] Maman made me tremble last night: she came to fetch the inkwell, I was in bed, she opened my drawer to take a pen, I was afraid she would take my notebook…
Thursday 24 — […] I love only one person on earth, her alone! Yes, Maman alone makes all my happiness, everything else is indifferent to me. She’s the only friend I want to have.
Saturday 26 — […] I spent the morning, as well as the Friday afternoon, without being able to do anything, starting everything and finishing nothing.
Monday 28 — […] I went and threw myself on a haystack, I stayed there a long time. I found a few hours of happiness there. […] This lack of spirit does not leave me. I dare not talk about it because I cannot explain what I feel, not understanding it. They would laugh at me.
1789 (undated entries)
How upset I am! Everything I see only serves to despair me! Scourge of the earth, you whom heaven made to punish us… How tired I am of living, and I fear to die… Alas, why am I?… What am I useful for on earth? If I didn’t exist… I don’t know what I’m saying anymore. My mind is absent, I go to bed without thinking about where I am… What am I? Very little…
[…] What, men… Oh, what a lot to say! Be quiet, Lucile, let the men do what they want, close your eyes to their actions, you have nothing to do with them…
Cruel moments, which have lasted too long!… The dreadful memory still comes to torment me… Ah, all my life I will remember it! Oh, what temerity! O you, happy inhabitants of these sweet lands, you guided by simple nature, how I envy your fate! Why was I not born among you? I have rage in my heart… Flow my tears, flow, relieve my pain or rather consume me! Perish my memory! May I be reduced to ashes, and may the winds scatter it throughout the earth!
