Quotes L'idée sera jetée, non sur le papier, non sur un journal, non sur un tableau, elle ne sera pas sculptée en marbre, ni taillée en pierre, ni coulée en bronze: elle marchera, en chair et en os, vivante, devant le peuple. Le people le saluera au passage. Translation: The idea will not appear on paper, nor in a journal, nor in a painting; it will not be sculpted in marble, nor carved in stone, nor cast in bronze: it will walk, in flesh and bone, alive, before the people. The people will salute it as it passes by. Bulletin de la fédération jurassienne, 5 August 1877. Quoted in Howard G. Lay, "Beau Geste!
