• (The Great Powers) desire nothing but to maintain peace, to free Europe from the scourge of their revolution and to prevent, or to lessen, as far as in their power, the evil which arises from the violation of all the principles of order and morality. On these conditions they think themselves entitled, as the reward of their cares and exertions, to the unanimous approbation of the world.

A View of England 1819
An old, mad, blind, despised and dying king, Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flowThrough public scorn - mud from a muddy spring, Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know,But leech-like to their fainting country cling,Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow, A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field, An army which liberticide and preyMakes as a two-edged sword to all who wield, Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;Religion Christless, Godless - a book sealed;A Senate, Time's worst statute unrepealed, Are graves, from which a glorious phantom mayBurst, to illumine our tempestuous day.
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Poetical Works

• If we ask what will become of Europe as a result of the unleashing of thirty millions serfs and an army of 300,000 men, the revolutionaries ask themselves the same question, and they see in the prospect life and triumph of their cause, whereas we, and all the enlightened leaders of Europe, can only see death. -Metternich on the Decembrists, 1826
