| Quote:When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.[Victor Hugo] Quote:The women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.[Susan B. Anthony] Quote:Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.[George Orwell] Quote:Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.[Fidel Castro] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] Quote:The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution. [Hannah Arendt] Quote:The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution. [Hannah Arendt] Quote:Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. [John F. Kennedy] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration.
