Revolution Quotes

The boundaries of democracy have to be widened so as to include economic equality also. This is the great revolution through which we are all passing Picture Quote #1

The coming change can only come through a revolution, because the possessing class will not allow a peaceful change to take place; still we are willing to work for peace at any price, except at the price of liberty Picture Quote #1

In my view, art and the approach to life through art, using it as a vehicle for education and even for doing science is so vital that it is part of a great new revolution that is taking place. I believe we are entering a whole new epoch Picture Quote #1

Revolution does not insure progress. You may overturn thrones, but what proof that anything better will grow upon the soil? Picture Quote #1

Let us remember that revolutions do not always establish freedom. Our own free institutions were not the offspring of our revolution. They existed before Picture Quote #1

All the parties of capitalist society, all its moralists and all its sycophants will perish beneath the debris of the impending catastrophe. The only party that will survive is the party of the world socialist revolution Picture Quote #1

... the next revolution... will be when those who work refuse to support those who don’t Picture Quote #1

Don’t call for a revolution, but look at yourself honestly and create an evolution Picture Quote #1

Salvation and justice are not to be found in revolution, but in evolution through concord. Violence has ever achieved only destruction, not construction; the kindling of passions, not their pacification; the accumulation of hate and destruction, not the reconciliation of the contending parties; and it has reduced men and parties to the difficult task of building slowly after sad experience on the ruins of discord Picture Quote #1

I think we’re not looking sufficiently at what is happening at the grassroots in the country. We have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we have to make among ourselves in order to force the government to do differently. Things do not start with governments Picture Quote #1

The purpose of every industrial revolution is to make craft and skills obsolete, and thereby make people interchangeable and cheap Picture Quote #1

People often criticize my films for being pessimistic; there are certainly many reasons for being pessimistic but I don’t see my films that way. They’re founded in the belief that revolution doesn’t belong on the cinema screen but outside in the world. Never mind if a film ends pessimistically but exposes certain mechanisms clearly enough to show people how they work and the ultimate effect is not pessimistic. My goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality Picture Quote #1

Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionarys life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime Picture Quote #1

The feminist revolution had to be fought because women quite simply were stopped at a state of evolution far short of their human capacity Picture Quote #1

There we were in the middle of a sexual revolution wearing clothes that guaranteed we wouldn’t get laid Picture Quote #1

And men go about to wonder at the heights of the mountains, and the mighty waves of the sea, and the wide sweep of rivers, and the circuit of the ocean, and the revolution of the stars, but themselves they consider not Picture Quote #1

A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution Picture Quote #1

Revolutions can no longer be achieved by minorities. No matter how energetic and intelligent a minority may be, it is not enough, in modern times at least, to make a revolution. The cooperation of a majority, and a large majority too, is needed Picture Quote #1

We must enter and take possession of the consciences of the children, of the consciences of the young, because they do belong, and should belong to the revolution Picture Quote #1

Here, the revolution was prepared. Here it was achieved. Here all the great events were fostered Picture Quote #1

From 1789, perhaps even before that, it had been the willingness of politicians to exploit either the threat or the fact of violence that had given them the power to challenge constituted authority. Bloodshed was not the unfortunate by product of revolution, it was the source of energy Picture Quote #1

The revolution is the war of liberty against its enemies. The constitution is the rule of liberty against its enemies. The constitution is the rule of liberty when victorious and peaceable Picture Quote #1

Tradition itself, in times of dogmatism and dogmatic revolution, is a revolutionary force which must be safeguarded Picture Quote #1

In order that the revolution should be something more than a word, in order that the reaction should not lead us back tomorrow to the situation of yesterday, the conquest of today must be worth the trouble of defending; the poor of yesterday must be worth the trouble of defending; the poor of yesterday must not be poor tomorrow Picture Quote #1

The desire for a nonviolent and cooperative world is the healthiest of all psychological manifestations. This is the overarching principle of liberation and revolution. Undoubtedly, it seems the highest order of contradiction that, in order to achieve nonviolence, we must first break with it in overcoming its root causes. Therein lies our only hope Picture Quote #1

I believe we can create a truly humane, sustainable, and health food production system without killing any animals. I imagine a revolution in veganic agriculture in which small farmers grow a variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes, all fertilized with vegetable sources Picture Quote #1

Just as the end goal of socialist revolution was not only the elimination of the economic class privilege but of the economic class distinction itself, so the end goal of feminist revolution must be,... not just the elimination of the male privilege, but of the sex distinction itself; genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally Picture Quote #1

Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all. Labor is the real sustainer of society, the sovereignty of the ultimate destiny of the workers Picture Quote #1

Depressed people cannot lead a revolution because depressed people can barely manage to get out of bed and put on their shoes and socks Picture Quote #1

The truth is, going against the internal stream of ignorance is way more rebellious than trying to start some sort of cultural revolution Picture Quote #1
