Quotes About Revolution

Change, when it comes, cracks everything open.
~ Dorothy Allison
I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them.
~ Dorothy Allison
Juliette Récamier (1777–1849), is remembered for her exquisite beauty and grace—her portrait by David hangs in the Louvre; Gerard's in the Carnavalet—but most of all she is defined by her romantic "friendships" which brought a certain frisson to the hermetic world of the literary salon. Madame Récamier's salon was the first one to reopen its doors after the Revolution.
~ Dorothy Johnson

On the eve of the Revolution in 1776, more than half of the nation's churchgoers went to Congregational, Presbyterian, and Anglican worship services—and supported the legal establishment of their churches.

Baptists and Methodists alone comprised over half of the nation's attenders.
~ Douglas A. Sweeney
The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.
~ Douglas Engelbart
public life is now dense with people desperate to man the barricades long after the revolution is over. Either because they mistake the barricades for home, or because they have no other home to go to. In each case a demonstration of virtue demands an overstating of the problem, which then causes an amplification of the problem.
~ Douglas Murray
Our public life is now dense with people desperate to man the barricades long after the revolution is over.

Not all were asleep during the night of our forefathers! (Noli Me Tangere)
~ Dr. Jose P. Rizal
It must have been a magical time to be alive when the universe, so long an enigma, seemed suddenly to have been conquered by the mind of a single man. As Pope himself said, Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.1 For the next three centuries, the knowledge of mankind would swell inexorably, sweeping before it the mysteries of the world.
~ Duncan J. Watts
I love the 3D revolution. I love the technology today that continues to push the envelope, continues break the new ground, and continues to raise the bar.

Singularity is the point at which "all the change in the last million years will be superseded by the change in the next five minutes."
~ Kevin Kelly
Life's all about the revolution, isn't it? The one inside, I mean. You can't change history. You can't change the world. All you can ever change is yourself.
~ Jennifer Donnelly
Revolution, the substitution of one social system for another, has always been a struggle, a painful and a cruel struggle, a life and death struggle.
