Except he was a traitor to the people of France, an aristocrat that worked against the people. He was deemed a Martyr of the aristocracy at the time.
That quote was also from a play, and not actually what he said.

I'm assuming he was hanged for too much sass.
Thomas de Mahy, Marquis de Favras (26 March 1744 – 18 February 1790), was a French aristocrat and supporter of the House of Bourbon during the French Revolution. Often seen as a martyr of the Royalist cause, Favras was executed for his part in "planning against the people of France" under the Count of Provence.

Even Sylvain Maréchal, the anarchist editor of the republican newspaper Révolutions de Paris, admitted that the evidence against Favras was insufficient. However, an armed attempt to free him by some Royalists on 26 January, which was thwarted by La Fayette, aroused the suspicion of the Parisians, and on 18 February 1790, in spite of a notable defense plea, Favras was sentenced to be hanged
Wow, had there not been an attempt to rescue him, he might not have been hanged
They had him hanged for being an insufferable and pedantic nerd.
A death well lived.
That looks like the perfect portrait for a guy with those last words
Has that, you might be firing me but I just banged your wife last week look on his face.
He was in a cart without wheels, but his hair was perfect.
A legend for our days, to encourage us in these times of vulgarity and "Live Laugh Love". For example, one of my neighbors had a piece of stone engraved with his family name and placed in his front yard. There is an apostrophe where it doesn't belong. When I go by, I imagine running over "The Stark's" with a truck to erase it and then buying him a new engraving.
Only one of the Starks put in the order and they wanted it to be their personal stone, hence the switch from plural to possessive.
Is that person the head of a Scottish clan? Otherwise, that person cannot be The Stark, I'll bet my tartan on it.
It's the stark's stone!
The stark would be so upset if you did that!
I must risk it all, to save Dol Amroth!
JB Weld and colour matching paint. Be the change.
I will! I happen to have both on hand at all times.
Remember to wear gloves so you don't immortalize your fingerprints.
THE STARK’S WHAT?!?
I know. I know.
Farva!
