"But the moment of discharge, so desired and so happy, contains its own danger. It is based on an illusion; the people who suddenly feel equal have not really become equal;nor will the feel equal forever. They return to their separate houses, they lie down on their own beds, they keep possessions and their names. They do notcast out their relations nor run away from their families."
E.C- "Crowds and Power"
The tower dated from the 13th century, and there was only one cell on each level. The floor was of brick, the walls whitewashed. Three steps led up to a window with three rows of bars, and there were bars inside the chimney, making it impossible to climb. The walls were very thick, and so was the door which had three locks.
R.H. "Bastille" from Marquis De Sade, "The Genius of Passion".
