Revolutions are not about trifles, but they are produced by trifles. 

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative on the day after the revolution.

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.

All revolutions devour their own children.

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the state.

To escape its wretched lot, the populace has three ways, two imaginary and one real. The first two are the rum shop and the church; the third is the social revolution.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.
