""Er hatte abgezehrte und zerfurchte Wangen, bleiche Lippen und machte durch seine schmutzige Blässe einen krankhaften, bösartigen und abstoßenden Eindruck. Sein Äußeres war wie schon Schimmel überzogen; Wäsche war nicht zu sehen, ein alter schwarzer Mantel umschloß eng seine dünnen und mageren Glieder; er sah aus, als habe er in einer Kloake gelebt und sei von dort hierher gekommen. Wie man mir sagte, war es Blanqui." - Alexis de Tocqueville über Louis-Auguste Blanqui, Erinnerungen (orig.: Souvenirs) ins Deutsche übersetzt von Dirk Forster, K.F. Koehler Verlag, Stuttgart 1954, S. 181"
