It's upsetting to think that the constitution is only for the libraries or for the use of the political class when it suits them and that it simply doesn't exist for the people.

Where are they, these writers and poets, these painters and sculptors? Where, in a word, is the whole gang of hypocrites who speak of the people with tears in their eyes, but who never, by any chance, find themselves among us, helping us in our laborious work?
