“The French Revolution unfolded under the banner of a self-contradictory and unrealizable slogan, ‘liberty, equality, fraternity.’ But in the life of society, liberty and equality are mutually exclusive, even hostile concepts. Liberty, by its very nature undermines social equality and equality suppresses liberty.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“The bonds of liberte, egalite, fraternite are not just the values French people share, but we share.”
— Barack Obama
