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 children of the revolution are always ungrateful, and the revolution must be grateful that it is so.

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

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

If there was ever a just war since the world began, it is this in which America is now engaged.

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

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

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

The only justification of rebellion is success.
