Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

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. 

An oppressed people are authorized, whenever they can, to rise and break their fetters.

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

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

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 always verbose.

The only justification of rebellion is success.

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