Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
