Revolution is a transfer of property from class to class.

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

In most cases, when the lion, weary of obeying its master, has torn and devoured him, its nerves are pacified and it looks round for another master before whom to grovel.

Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

-Come the revolution, everyone will eat ice cream. -But, comrade, I don't like ice cream. -Come the revolution, everyone will eat ice cream.

The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it.

It is only the religious mind that is a truly revolutionary mind.

Revolutions are not made from trifles, but spring from trifles.

Revolutionaries do not make revolutions! The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and when they can pick it up.

Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous.
