All the world wondered as they witnessed ... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

Cowards and fools call us fools for talking of force when we have nothing in our hands, no guns, not even sharp knives or needles. Don't believe them; they will give you every reason for doing nothing, for just talking about freedom and doing nothing to gain it. I tell you that there will be plenty of weapons in this war. Weapons are not only those you make for yourselves; they are also those which come into your hand without your making them.

We are working for a revolution. If we do not start it by improving the life of the soldiers, all slogans of reforming and improving society are but empty words.

Any revolution which denies the right to criticize is bound to wallow in stagnation and backwardness.

A fire had been lit, and it would never be extinguished; its bloody flames would not stop until their sinister glow had been thrown across the entire nation.

Revolutions are not made with literature. Revolutions equal gunfire.

The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and well-being.

Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

The consequences of militancy do not disappear when the need for militancy is over.

The question is one of fighting the causes and not just being satisfied with getting rid of the effects.
