“You know I don’t have a taste for blood, but if you have the opportunity to reason with Marat, to hear his sympathetic explanations for these horrific machinations, please don’t. Don’t listen. Kill him. He will never coexist with the human race because he is a race of one. He does not believe in us. He believes in nothing and no one outside himself. He is a fire burning through the world: If you let him go, he will not repent; he will just burn hotter and make more ash.”
