The young are generally full of revolt, and are often pretty revolting about it.
Francois la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed
Germaine Greer
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
Vladimir Lenin
I have not seen the Himalayas. But I have seen Sheikh Mujib. In personality and in courage, this man is the Himalayas. I have thus had the experience of witnessing the Himalayas.
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz
A revolution is not a trail of roses. A revolution is a fight to the death between the future and the past.
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz
Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions.
Aristotle
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions! The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and when they can pick it up. Armed uprising by itself has never yet led to revolution.
Hannah Arendt
We have not made the Revolution, the Revolution has made us.
Karl Georg Bchner
Revolution: Political movement which gets many peoples hopes up, lets even more people down, makes almost everybody uncomfortable, and a few, extraordinarily rich. It is widely held in high regard.
Adolfo Bioy Casares
Providence is a greater mystery than revelation.
Richard Cecil
We have a theoretical concept of the Revolution which is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz
We honor revelation too highly to make it the antagonist of reason, or to believe that it calls us to renounce our highest powers.
William Ellery Channing
Faced by the actual practice of freedom, the French and American revolutions would be forced to stand by their words.
William Seward Burroughs
