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.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

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

The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

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 only justification of rebellion is success.

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

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
