Hilary Mantel Quote
You must, of course. Robespierre doesn’t lie or cheat or steal, doesn’t get drunk, doesn’t fornicate—overmuch. He’s not a hedonist or a mainchancer or a breaker of promises. Danton grinned. But what’s the use of all this goodness? People don’t try to emulate you. Instead they just pull the wool over your eyes.
