Answers:
The phrase attributed to Parisian Denis Diderot is thus "Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."
Diderot lived (1713-1784) during a time when Freedom, in its various forms, was swirling in the desires of the underclasses. The upperclasses feared the unfettered actions and thoughts of any challenging their position and eventually Diderot was persecuted. Ironically, the toughest times of his publishing life were the years leading up to the American revolution.
