Revolutions are not made with literature. Revolutions equal gunfire.

Francois Duvalier

Before, revolutions used to have ideological names. They could be communist, they could be liberal, they could be fascist or Islamic. Now, the revolutions are called under the medium which is most used. You have Facebook revolutions, Twitter revolutions. The content doesn't matter anymore - the problem is the media.

Ivan Krastev

Revolutions are never waged singing "We Shall Overcome." Revolutions are based upon bloodshed.

Malcolm X

Revolutions are not made, they come.

Wendell Phillips

Revolutions are not made for export.

Nikita Khrushchev

In the political, the social, the economic, even the cultural sphere, the revolutions of our time have been revolutions "against" rather than revolutions "for"... On the whole throughout this period the man--or party--that stood for doing the positive has usually cut a pathetic figure; well meaning but ineffectual, civilized but unrealistic, he was suspect alike to [by both] the ultras of destruction and the ultras of preservation and restoration.

Peter Drucker

Revolutions are not exportable: revolutions are created by oppressive conditions which Latin American countries exercise against their peoples.

Che Guevara

Revolutions are not made by fate but by men.

Jacob Bronowski

But here's some advice, boy. Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.

Terry Pratchett

If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions on the human mind.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Do you think Revolutions are made with rose water?

Francis Bond Head

Do you think that revolutions are made with rose water?

Nicolas Chamfort

All bonafide revolutions are of necessity revolutions of the spirit.

Sonia Johnson

The old terms must be invented with new meaning and given new explanations. Liberty, equality, and fraternity are no longer what they were in the days of the late-lamented guillotine. This is what the politicians will not understand; and that is why I hate them. They want only their own special revolutions- external revolutions, political revolutions, etc. But that is only dabbling. What is really needed is a revolution of the human spirit.

Henrik Ibsen

Revolutions, we must remember, are always made by minorities.

Peter Kropotkin
