You say you want a revolution
“You imagine I act out of unscrupulous self-interest; true, all revolutionaries do. They agitate and harangue and justify every villainy in the name of high ideals; they lie, to delude the people, whom they hold in contempt. They seek nothing but their personal ends…”
Flashman and the Dragon, p.134, Fontana Paperback edition, 1986.
