Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms.

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.

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

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

Revolutions never go backward.

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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

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