	July 28th
		Had Robespierre himself not been sent as deputy from Arras to Paris, he probably would have lived a useful citizen, respected for his probity, benevolence, and intelligence.
		Robespierre's person was in striking correspondence with his mind.
		His face was sharp; his forehead good, but narrow, and largely developed in the perceptive organs; his mouth was large, and the lips thin and compressed; his nose was straight and small, and very wide at the nostrils.

	Maximilien Robespierre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robespierre argued that the King, having "betrayed" the people by attempting to flee the country (or indeed, in Robespierre's opinion, in having been a King at all) was not just a criminal but a danger to the state - a threat through the unifying symbol he presented to the enemies of the newborn Republic.
		Robespierre was the next day taken before the tribunal, and without trial he was guillotined along with Couthon and Saint-Just and nineteen others of his adherents on the Place de la Révolution on the 10th Thermidor An II (28 July 1794).
		Robespierre's private life was always respectable: he was always emphatically a gentleman and man of culture, and even a little bit of a dandy, scrupulously honest, truthful and charitable.

		Lasource accused him of aiming at the dictatorship; afterwards he was informed that Marat, Danton and himself were plotting to become triumvirs; and eventually on October 29 Louvet de Couvrai attacked him in a studied and declamatory harangue, abounding in ridiculous falsehoods and obviously concocted in Madame Roland's boudoir.

	La Vendée, by Anthony Trollope (chapter23)
		Robespierre, in the Convention and in the Committee, was omnipotent; but he also had his master, and he knew it.
		Robespierre was not a cruel man; but he had none of that humanity, which makes the shedding of blood abominable to mankind, and which, had he possessed it, would have made his career impossible.
		Robespierre the elder believed only in himself; Robespierre the younger believed in his brother, and his belief was fervid and assured, as is always that of an enthusiast.

	France: revolutionary leaders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

	18. Bonaparte's Imprisonment Page 1
		He was in Corsica at the same time as Napoleon, in the year 1793; he had been, like his young friend, a member of the Jacobin Club of Ajaccio, and Salicetti's speeches had not been inferior to those of Napoleon, either in wildness or in exalted republicanism.
		If this order were carried into execution, then Bonaparte was lost; for, though Robespierre had fallen, yet with his fall the system of blood and terror had not been overthrown in Paris; it had only changed its name.
		The terrorists, who now called themselves the moderates, exercised the same system of intimidation as their predecessors; and to be brought before the Committee of Safety, signified the same thing as to receive a death-warrant.

		Though the opening of the play has been timed to take place a few days before the 200th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on July 14, the play was not written with that event in mind.
		One of the towering figures of the Revolution, Robespierre is remembered today chiefly as founder of the religion of the Supreme Being and zealous architect of the Reign of Terror, which sent many of his rival leaders to the guillotine.
		For a touch of surrealism, he introduced dreams and fantasies into Robespierre's life, and, in a further reach for the lyric and poetic, he inserted music of the period into the action, a move that required actors who could sing.
