I've twisted and turned them every way,
And can see no ending to our play.

Marat/Sade (1963)

Fight on land and sea
All men want to be free
If they don't
never mind
we'll abolish all mankind

Marat/Sade (1963)

and renounce the tempting embrace
instead of yielding to his desires
and enduring the attendant dangers.

We can say what we like without favour or fear
and what we can't say we can breathe in your ear
