Give me liberty or give me death.' A human named Patrick Henry said that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew before they came to conquer Earth that humans said things like that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew what they were getting into." -Aximili Esgarrouth Isthill

About This Quote

"Give me liberty or give me death." This quote is most famous for being the formal declaration of independence in the American War of Independence in 1776. It is also associated with the American Revolution in general. During the war in France in the 19th century, one of the leaders of the French Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre said, "The French Revolution will be great or it will not be at all." He too is most famous for these words. Originally, these words were used to challenge the British monarchy and their power over the colonies in America. After that point, they were used by revolutionaries against monarchies around the world.
