"Are you not afraid that the poor man put into the dock for snatching a piece of bread from a baker's stall will not, one day, become so enraged that stone by stone he will demolish the Stock Exchange, a wild den where the treasure of the state and the fortune of families are stolen with impunity?"
- La Ruche populaire, November 1842,
quoted in Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison, by Michel Foucault.
