Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Revolutionaries are greater sticklers for formality than conservatives.

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.

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.

Revolutions never go backward.

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.

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. 

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

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.

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

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

If not us, who? If not now, when?
