A Quote by Adam Michnik
After the French Revolution, it was not the treason of the king that was in question; it was the existence of the king. You have to be very careful when you judge and execute somebody for being a symbol.

It is accomplished not by proofs but by worship. Any other way is but a thinker's pious bungling.
