Hi, I see the first quote has already been dealt with. Here's a suggestion for the second. Hope it helps. Wikiquote always a good start.
“A nation only regenerates itself upon heaps of corpses.” Saint-Just quoting Mirabeau before members of the Committee of Public Safety on October 17, 1793. Cant find a direct source just Saint-Just: Colleague of Robespierre by Eugene N. Curtis [p. 236]
I have a copy of a speech he made to the Convention on 16th October for a law against the english and no mention in there so… someone's going to have to go to a decent library and look up the relevant volume of the CPS archives.
