It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
Vladimir Lenin
A revolution is not a bed of roses.
Fidel Castro
The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives
William James
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
Revolution is not a onetime event.
Audre Lorde
Between capitalist and communist society there lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
Karl Marx
Revolution is engendered by an indignation with tyranny, yet is itself pregnant with tyranny.
William Godwin
The Framers [of the Constitution] knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.
Hugo Black
Revolution is like the daughters of Pelias: it cuts humanity to pieces in order to rejuvenate it.
Karl Georg Bchner
Our Party supports and will continue to support peoples fighting for their freedom. In so doing, the Soviet Union does not look for advantages, does not hunt for concessions, does not seek political domination and is not after military bases. We act as we are bid by our revolutionary conscience, our communist convictions.
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev
There are only two forces that unite men fear and interest. All great revolutions originate in fear, for the play of interests does not lead to accomplishment.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Anarchy! Revolution, Justice, Screaming For Solutions, Forcing Changes, Risk, and Danger, Making Noise and Making Please!
Jonathan Larson
Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists
Franklin D. Roosevelt
