11. Mao "...had experienced the morning-after epiphany common to all revolutionaries: in victory, the revolution dies. Shades of the prison house begin to close upon the post-revolutionary state; after the initial transformative spasm, exhaustion replaces exhilaration, routine replaces voluntarism, responsibility clogs idealism. Many revolutionary victors are happy to settle for power and stability. Mao was not. The revolution was dead; long live the revolution!“ Roderick MacFarquhar, The Origins of the Cultural Revolution, Volume 3: The Coming of the Cataclysm 1961-1966, p. 469
