  • Revolution Quote #1

    A revolution is an idea, taken up by bayonets.

    Napoléon Bonaparte

  • Revolution Quote #2

    A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability.

    [Report to the United States Senate on his trip to Latin America and the Alliance for Progress, May 9-10 1966]

    Robert F. Kennedy

  • Revolution Quote #3

    A revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle between the future and the past.

    Fidel Castro

  • Revolution Quote #4

    A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.

    Mao Tsetung

  • Revolution Quote #5

    A revolution was inevitably coming; the earth was destined to be reclaimed, renewed and revived.

    Shizette Parker

  • Revolution Quote #6

    A revolutionary career does not lead to banquets and honorary titles, interesting research and professorial wages. It leads to misery, disgrace, ingratitude, prison and a voyage into the unknown, illuminated by only an almost superhuman belief.

    Max Horkheimer

  • Revolution Quote #7

    A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.

    Martin Luther King Jr.

  • Revolution Quote #8

    A societal revolution is politically organic in nature. It can't be engineered. It has to be evolved.

    Mamur Mustapha

  • Revolution Quote #9

    A woman can tolerate delays knowing they are not denials; she is diligent, and composed. She is not easily irritated like love; she endures all things, beans all things and can be stretched to any limit.

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #10

    A woman that is patient has the ability to endure provocation, pain, annoyance etc, with much calm and strength.

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #11

    Aber was nennen Sie ruhig sein? Die Hände in den Schoss legen? Leiden, was man nicht sollte? Dulden, was man nicht dürfte?

    Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

  • Revolution Quote #12

    Accept responsibilities for all your actions. Learn from your past and your mistakes.

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #13

    Again, Syd had that feeling, the past as an echo, repeating itself as it faded. The poor had longed for Jubilee to save them from the powerful, and now the one-time patrons longed for the Machine to do the same. Every revolution believes it can return something that had been lost, but nothing is ever the same. The only thing that endures are people. Syd saw that clearly now, and perhaps so too did Marie. You could serve a revolution, an idea that ended up an echo if itself, or you could serve people, with their maddening contradictions. You couldn't serve both. You had to choose.

    Alex London

  • Revolution Quote #14

    Against The Stream is more than just another book about meditation. It is a manifesto and field guide for the front lines of the revolution. It is the culmination of almost two decades of meditative dissonance from the next generation of Buddhists in the West, It is a call to awakening for the sleeping masses.

    Noah Levine

  • Revolution Quote #15

    Akasha, for two thousand years I have watched,' he said. 'Call me the Roman in the Arena if you will and tell me tales of the ages that went before. When I knelt at your feet I begged you for your knowledge. But what I have witnessed in this short span has filled me with awe and love for all things mortal; I have seen revolutions in thought and philosophy which I believed impossible. Is not the human race moving towards the very age of peace you describe?'
    Her face was a picture of disdain.
    'Marius,' she said, 'this will go down as one of the bloodiest centuries in the history of the human race. What revolutions do you speak of, when millions have been exterminated by one small European nation on the whim of a madman, when entire cities were melted into oblivion by bombs? When children in desert countries of the East war on other children in the name of an ancient and despotic God? Marius, women the world over wash the fruits of their wombs down public drains. The screams of the hungry are deafening, yet unheard by the rich who cavort in technological citadels; disease runs rampant among the starving of whole continents while the sick in palatial hospitals spend the wealth of the world on cosmetics refinements and the promise of eternal life through pills and vials. She laughed softly. 'Did ever the cries of the dying ring so thickly in the ears of those of us who can hear them? Has ever more blood been shed?

    Anne Rice

  • Revolution Quote #16

    All over America, people were pulling credentials out of their pockets and sticking them under someone else's nose to prove they had been somewhere or done something. And I thought someday everyone in America will suddenly jump up and say, 'I don't take any shit!' and start pushing and cursing and clawing at the man next to him.

    William S. Burroughs

  • Revolution Quote #17

    All this ferment was public, we might almost say tranquil.
    The imminent insurrection gathered its storm calmly in the face of the government. No singularity was lacking in this crisis, still subterranean, but already perceptible. The middle class talked quietly with workingmen about the preparations. They would say, How is the uprising coming along? in the same tone in which they would have said, How's your wife?

    Victor Hugo

  • Revolution Quote #18

    Als Präsident Obama den Aufstand als legitime Meinungsäußerung begrüßte, die von der Regierung anerkannt werden müsse, war die Verwirrung komplett. Die Massen in Kairo und Alexandria wollten keine Anerkennung ihrer Forderungen durch die Regierung, deren Rechtmäßigkeit sie rundweg ablehnten. Sie wünschten sich das Mubarak-Regime nicht als Gesprächspartner, sie wollten, dass Mubarak verschwand. Ihr Ziel war nicht nur eine neue Regierung, die ihre Meinung anhören würde, sondern eine Umgestaltung des gesamten Staates. Sie hatten keine »Meinungen?«; sie waren die Wahrheit der Situation in Ägypten. (S. 55)

    Slavoj Žižek

  • Revolution Quote #19

    Always contend for the good!

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #20

    Am I seeing or am i dreaming
    Its showing so I'm believing
    Am i seeing what i believe or
    Am i being shown then believing

    Mohammad K. Walizada

  • Revolution Quote #21

    Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one—the triumph of Christianity —that can be called in the fullest sense a revolution: a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good.

    David Bentley Hart

  • Revolution Quote #22

    An ant can't make a revolution, but a monkey can do; because it owns a fist! No real revolution is ever possible without fist.

    Mehmet Murat ildan

  • Revolution Quote #23

    An army of the people is invincible!

    Mao Tsetung

  • Revolution Quote #24

    An average man is egoistic, proud and has strong self esteem. They always require partners who massage their ego not those who will drag their ego to the mud.

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #25

    An intelligent woman is a goldmine! She has the ability to learn, reason and understand things better and faster than her contemporaries. She is competent, alert and can reason out stuffs easily.

    Jaachynma N.E. Agu

  • Revolution Quote #26

    Anarchy has the flexibility to overcome many of the traditional problems of activism by focusing on revolution not as another cause but as a philosophy of living. This philosophy is as concrete as a brick being thrown through a window or flowers growing in the garden. By making our daily lives revolutionary, we destroy the artificial separation between activism and everyday life. Why settle for comrades and fellow activists when we can have friends and lovers?

    Curious George Brigade

  • Revolution Quote #27

    Anarchy is like custard cooking over a flame; it has to be constantly stirred or it sticks and gets heavy, like government.

    Tom Robbins

  • Revolution Quote #28

    And all Negroes at some period of their lives there is that yearning for a sense of group unity that is the yearning of men for a flag: for a unity that cannot be compromised, that cannot be bought; that is conscious of itself, of its strength, that is militant.

    Ralph Ellison

  • Revolution Quote #29

    And how can there be a final revolution? There is no final one. The number of revolutions is infinite.

    Yevgeny Zamyatin

  • Revolution Quote #30

    And is it not sects, bodies of definite, uncompromising principles, that lead us into revolutions?

    Vladimir Ilich Lenin
