Revolutions Quotes

Literature should be more revolutionary than revolutions themselves; writers must find the means to continue to be critical of the negative elements in the sociopolitical reality Picture Quote #1

Liberation that raises a cry against others is no true liberation. Liberation that means revolutions of hate and violence and takes away lives of others or abases the dignity of others cannot be true liberty Picture Quote #1

The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos Picture Quote #1

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced Picture Quote #1

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny; they have only shifted it to another shoulder Picture Quote #1

Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service Picture Quote #1

The movements which work revolutions in the world are born out of the dreams and visions in a peasant’s heart on the hillside Picture Quote #1

Revolutions spring not from accident, but from necessity. A revolution is a return from the factitious to the real. It takes place because it must Picture Quote #1

If we trace the history of most revolutions, we shall find that the first inroads upon the laws have been made by the governors, as often as by the governed Picture Quote #1

It is the quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws; but to break up both, and make new ones Picture Quote #1

The danger to which the success of revolutions is most exposed, is that of attempting them before the principles on which they proceed, and the advantages to result from them, are sufficiently seen and understood Picture Quote #1

Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires Picture Quote #1

The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character Picture Quote #1

Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions. But these have all been limited to the external aspects of our individual and collective lives Picture Quote #1

History reminds us that revolutions are not events, so much that they’re processes – that for tens of thousands of years, people have been making decisions that irrevocably shaped the world that we live in today; just as today, we are making subtle, irrevocable decisions that people of the future will remember as revolutions Picture Quote #1

A bird maintains itself in the air by imperceptible balancing, when near to the mountains or lofty ocean crags; it does this by means of the curves of the winds which as they strike against these projections, being forced to preserve their first impetus bend their straight course towards the sky with divers revolutions, at the beginning of which the birds come to a stop with their wings open, receiving underneath themselves the continual buffetings of the reflex courses of the winds Picture Quote #1

I wonder whether any other generation has seen such astounding revolutions of data and values as those through which we have lived. Scarcely anything material or established which I was brought up to believe was permanent and vital, has lasted. Everything I was sure or taught to be sure was impossible, has happened Picture Quote #1

Revolutions and revolutionary wars are inevitable in class society, and without them it is impossible to accomplish any leap in social development and to overthrow the reactionary ruling classes and therefore impossible for the people to win political power Picture Quote #1
