"We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution. The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin."

These conflicts further become tools of exploitation in the hands of a handful of war-mongering, authoritarian, blood-sucking politicians."
"In the case of Tunisia, it was indeed this single act that sparked what had been long-standing active protest movements and moved them forward. But that's not so unusual. Let's look at our own history. Take the civil rights movement.

It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade."
"Every revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever."
"Think what a revolution it will be if we manage to get everyone to pay their taxes."
"You can carry out a spiritual revolution by making God's truth the head of everything."
"Become the destroyer of sects - become the breaker of privileges " become the messenger of equality " become the prophet of goodness."
