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

The most successful revolutions aren't those that are celebrated with parades and banners, drums and trumpets, cannons and fireworks. The really successful revolutions are those that occur quietly, unnoticed, uncommemorated. We don't celebrate the day the United States Constitution was destroyed; it didn't happen on a specific date, and most Americans still don't realize it happened at all. We don't say the Constitution has ceased to exist; we merely say that it's a 'living document.' But it amounts to the same thing.

Joseph Sobran

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

Unconventionality is no longer a taboo. It is being applauded and celebrated by both the classes and the masses.

Sherlyn Chopra

The fact that healthier lifestyles and advances in medicine mean that we are living longer is actually something to be celebrated.

Nicola Sturgeon

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

Malcolm X

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 with literature. Revolutions equal gunfire.

Francois Duvalier

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

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 of the human mind.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

All bonafide revolutions are of necessity revolutions of the spirit.

Sonia Johnson

Marx says that revolutions are the locomotives of world history. But the situation may be quite different. Perhaps revolutions are not the train ride, but the human race grabbing for the emergency brake.

Walter Benjamin

Go where you're celebrated, not tolerated. I'm celebrated in Detroit.

Kid Rock

I often think how celebrated I am. / It is difficult not to think how celebrated I am. / And if I think how celebrated I am / They know who know that I am new / That is I knew I know how celebrated I am / And after all it astonishes even me.

Gertrude Stein
