Young Bloods Quotes

“They are subjected to all manner of taxes: the tithe, the hearth tax and the capitation tax. When all those are paid, they are left with a pittance, which means they spend their lives struggling to survive. I can understand their despair. And I can understand their anger when they look at the nobility and the clergy and see them enjoying lives of luxury, unburdened by any tax. What astonishes me is that they have put up with it for so long. I can only begin to imagine the suffering that has driven those people in Seurre to action.”
