Summary
This quote suggests that every revolution, regardless of its original purpose or ideals, eventually turns against its own members or leaders. It implies that the very individuals who worked to bring about the revolution are ultimately destroyed or betrayed by the very cause they fought for. This notion highlights a commonly observed pattern throughout history where radical movements may start with noble intentions, but end up engulfed in violence, internal conflicts, or power struggles that result in the downfall or demise of those originally involved.
