| Oct 20, 2016 at 15:53 | comment | added | Teleporting Goat | Writing that helped me clear it out : Both are risks (not wanted, and have a chance of happening), but the difference is if the first thing is worth the risk or not. | |

"Sous peine" is followed by something you wouldn't want to happen "we shouldn't know too much, or we could end up like the senators". "Quitte à" is followed by something that you don't necessarily want, but that you're willing to let happen, because the first thing is worth the risk. "We must know more, even though we could finish like the senators". | |
