The borders of Paris will never exist.No other city mocks the people it controls so grandiosely.Alexander said: "To win your favor, O people of Athens!" Paris not only makes laws, it makes fashions, Paris not only makes fashions, it makes norms.Paris can be stupid, and when it likes to do that, it sometimes allows itself that bliss, and the whole world is stupid with it, and then Paris wakes up and wipes its eyes and says, "How stupid I am !” and laughed wildly at the faces of humans.What a marvelous city it is!It is indeed strange that grandeur and wildness can be reconciled with each other, majesty can not be disturbed by ugliness, the same mouth can blow the trumpet of the doomsday today, but can blow the onion pipe tomorrow!There is a majestic frolic in Paris, whose laughter is thunder, whose banter is majestic, and which can sometimes stir up a storm with a wink or an eye.Its wrath, its anniversaries, its masterpieces, its deeds, its feats shook the whole earth, and so did its ramblings.Its laughter is a crater, splashing across the globe.Its scorn was the spark, and it affected other peoples with its caricatures and ideals.The noblest watch in human culture accepts its teasing, and surrenders its perpetual place to its jokes.It's brilliant, it has a fourteenth of july that saves the world, it inspires other peoples to take the tennis hall oath, it's fourteenth of august night meeting destroys a millennium in three hours The feudal system, which with its logic creates the muscles of people's unanimity, its spirit is expressed in a variety of outstanding images, its light is full of Washington, Kosciuszko, Bolivar, Pocha Hearts for Reese, Riago, Bem, Manin, Lopez, John Brown, Garibaldi.It is omnipresent wherever the torch of the future burns, in Boston in 1779, on the Isle of Leon in 1820, in Pest in 1848, in Palermo in 1860; The ears of the American abolitionists on the Harper's Ferry ferry whispered the mighty slogan "Liberty" into the ears of the Ancona patriots who gathered in the shadows of Archie in front of Gozzie's Inn by the sea .It created Canaris, it created Quiroga, it created Pizza Conner.It radiated its majesty to the whole world, and it was because of its wind that Byron died at Messolange and Marseilles at Barcelona.It is the platform at the foot of Mirabeau, it is the crater at the foot of Robespierre, its books, its plays, its art, its science, its literature, its philosophy are human manuals, its There was Pascal, Rainier, Corneille, Descartes, Rousseau, Voltaire, all of whom every minute needed.Molière is an indispensable figure in every century. It makes the mouths of people all over the world speak its language, and this language has become a motto of salvation.It establishes progressive ideas in the spirit of every individual, and the emancipatory creed it forges is the pillow sword of future generations.Every hero of the peoples since 1789 has also been molded by the soul of its thinkers and its poets, and that does not prevent it from being a savage.This great genius known as Paris, while changing the face of the world with his splendor, blackened Bushnier's nose on the wall of the Temple of Theseus, and wrote "The Clydeville Bandit" on the pyramids .

Paris showed her teeth all the time, and when she wasn't gnashing her teeth, she was smiling with her mouth open. Paris is like that.The smoke on its tiled roof is the thought of the world.Heaps of mud and rocks, if one wants to call it that, but the main thing is that it has ideas.It's not just great, it's also boundless.Why?Because it dares. Dare, this is the price you must pay for progress. Any remarkable victory is always more or less the fruit of audacity.For the revolution, Montesquieu's premonition, Diderot's propaganda, Beaumarchais' expression, Condorcet's deduction, Arouet's preparation, and Rousseau's planning are not enough. Danton's courage is also necessary.

"Bring out your guts!" That roar is the mother of all success.In order for mankind to advance, there must be a constant flow of teachings that inspire courage and lift people's will from the top.Fearlessness shines through the annals of history and is one of the magnificences of humanity.When the sun rises in the east, it dares to break through the darkness.To tempt, to advance, to endure, to persevere, to be faithful, to wrestle with fate, to amaze suffering with poise, to offend now with unjust violence, now to spit at mad victories, to stand firm and hold your head high, this is what the people need It is also a model that inspires them.That shocking lightning has been moved from the torch of Prometheus to the pipe of Cambronne.
