And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The image shows the ornate entrance of the Lavirotte Building, an apartment building located at 29 Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.
It is a well-known example of Art Nouveau architecture, designed by the architect Jules Lavirotte and built between 1899 and 1901.
The facade is lavishly decorated with sculptures, ceramic tiles, and a dreamlike quality that was initially scandalous to Parisians.
The building won a municipal competition for the best facade in 1901.
It is located near the Eiffel Tower and is a popular spot for architecture enthusiasts.
