How can there be any remedy in insurrection? It is a mere announcement of the disease, — visible now even to sons of Night. Insurrection usually gains little; usually wastes how much. One of its worst kinds of waste, to say nothing of the rest, is that of irritating and exasperating men against each other, by violence done, which is always sure to be injustice done; for violence does even justice unjustly.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

Past and Present, Book 1, ch. 3 “Manchester Insurrection” (1843)
