Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

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.

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

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.

In revolutions men fall and rise. Long before this war is over, much as you hear me praised now, you may hear me cursed and insulted.

I began revolution with eighty-two men. If I had to do it again, I do it with ten or fifteen and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

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

Revolution begins in putting on bright colors.

Rebellion is no less a sin than divination.
