| | Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh : 2nd half September 1884 |
 | | Guizot, minister of Louis Philippe, on one side, Michelet and Quinet with the students on the other. |
 | | But my opinion is, if you and I had lived then, you would have been on the Guizot side, and I on the side of Michelet. |
 | | And both of us remaining set in our outlooks, with a certain melancholy, we might have stood as direct enemies opposite each other, for instance on such a barricade, you before it as a soldier of the government, I behind it, as revolutionist or rebel. |
