The children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.

The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

I have been ever of the opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

No one makes a revolution by himself, and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.

There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms. 

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man, not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.

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

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