Revolution as an ideal concept always preserves the essential content of the original thought: sudden and lasting betterment.
‐‐ Johan Huizinga
Revolution begins with the self, in the self.
‐‐ Toni Cade Bambara
Revolution comes when human beings set out to correct decadent institutions.
‐‐ H. Rap Brown
Revolution did not necessarily involve sanguinary strife. It was not a cult of bomb and pistol. They may sometimes be mere means for its achievement.
‐‐ Bhagat Singh
Revolution in the modern case is no longer an uncouth business.
‐‐ Garet Garrett
Revolution is a phase, a mood, like spring, and just as spring has its buds and showers, so revolution has its ebullience, its bravery, its hope, and its solidarity. Some of these things pass.
‐‐ Rebecca Solnit
Revolution is a trivial shift in the emphasis of suffering.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.
‐‐ Bobby Seale
Revolution is an instrument, like a party is an instrument.
‐‐ Ernest Mandel
Revolution is as unpredictable as an earthquake and as beautiful as spring. Its coming is always a surprise, but its nature should not be.
‐‐ Rebecca Solnit
Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.
‐‐ Paulo Freire
Revolution is glorified by intellectuals, apotheosized by poets, sanctified by visionaries, and bled white by politicians.
‐‐ Ameen Rihani
Revolution is like Saturn, it devours its own children.
‐‐ Georg Buchner
Revolution is not a goal in itself.
‐‐ Ernest Mandel
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
‐‐ Abbie Hoffman
Revolution is something that actually starts in individual hearts.
‐‐ Bill Viola
Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
‐‐ Germaine Greer
Revolution is usually a bloody affair. Our Revolution of 1911 did not shed much blood because our people are a peace-loving people. This peace-loving quality is the greatest virtue of the Chinese.
‐‐ Sun Yat-sen
Revolution may not be pro-Western or democratic.
‐‐ Evgeny Morozov
Revolution, n. In politics, an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.
‐‐ Ambrose Bierce
Revolutionaries are not infallible.
‐‐ Tariq Ali
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up.
‐‐ Hannah Arendt
Revolutionaries were depressed and close to emotional breakdown; after the failure, they left successively.
‐‐ Sun Yat-sen
Revolutionaries who come to power by force of arms usually have great crimes in their background. Leaders who survive campaigns by great powers to destroy them do not survive because they observe the niceties of law. Subversives who shape world events by covert action and violence work in shadows and detest the light of day.
‐‐ Stephen Kinzer
'Revolutionary Road' is a fascinating study of the human condition of a fragmenting marriage and the torment that these two people put themselves through in their efforts to try and find happiness and try and stay together, actually.
‐‐ Kate Winslet
Revolutions and their aftermaths, of course, are always fluid and fickle times, and the outcome is often perched on a knife's edge.
‐‐ Sri Mulyani Indrawati
Revolutions are always verbose.
‐‐ Leon Trotsky
Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.
‐‐ Kwame Nkrumah
Revolutions are not made for export.
‐‐ Nikita Khrushchev
Revolutions are of no us;, it is necessary to work on transforming the brain: on sowing a different knowledge/awareness, on creating a new conscience, that is like a magic box full of brains.
‐‐ Alejandro Jodorowsky
Revolutions are something you see only in retrospect.
‐‐ Alan Greenspan
Revolutions are the locomotives of history.
‐‐ Karl Marx
Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.
‐‐ Norman Mailer
Revolutions come in two stages: the bit where everything gets smashed and the bit where you have to build it again. The first is great fun; the second is so very hard.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again.
‐‐ Friedrich Durrenmatt
Revolutions go not backward.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Revolutions just spread blood. Evolution - this is something that changes in the long term.
‐‐ Marjane Satrapi
Rewarding law breakers produces more law breakers.
‐‐ Steve King
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
‐‐ Zhuangzi
Rewards are directly proportional to the suspect and his peers' status in society: $100,000 was offered in the Moxley case. It meant nothing to millionaires.
‐‐ Mark Fuhrman
Rewriting is a large part of the whole job. And get rid of stuff that's not working. Just pare it down until it's a beautiful thing you can hand in, probably late, to your editor.
‐‐ Kurt Loder
Rewriting isn't just about dialogue; it's the order of the scenes, how you finish a scene, how you get into a scene.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
Rewriting to me means, if I work on it for three days, I've rewritten it.
‐‐ Jules Shear
Rex has photographers around the world - it's a higher touch business: there are a lot of relationships involved. If you throw an event, there are certain photographers you've worked with before and you want there.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
Rex is 60 years old with 13 million images and 10 million in archive. It's the first time we've had a historic archive to work with, which is super interesting.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
Rex Ryan is definitely a very confident individual and, when you have someone who believes firmly in what he's speaking, you naturally absorb it.
‐‐ D'Brickashaw Ferguson
Rey is so strong. She's cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to. That they don't have to show off their bodies.
‐‐ Daisy Ridley
Rey's parents left her at 5, and we meet her when she's late teens or early 20s, and for someone to keep hopeful that there's a better life to come, I think, is astounding. Though she starts off alone, she very much finds her place in a group of people, and that's lovely.
‐‐ Daisy Ridley
RFID is going to get its technical embedding time it needs as serious players are not going to get involved on a sufficient scale with something that might not work.
‐‐ Mike Marsh
RFK was a compelling figure because he was willing to challenge his audiences, and in turn connect with them in a unique way. Kennedy showed that our values define us and can inspire others to believe in the possibility of change and a better society.
