"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."
"This haze of blood must subside, the palace must collapse under the weight of the riches it conceals, the orgy must finish and the time come to awaken."
"One can take the path of revolution but the revolution should not give a shock to the society. There is no place for violence in revolution."
"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."

One thing is certain, and that is that a condition of semi-madness is not unbecoming at such times, and often even leads to success."
"Revolutions spring not from accident, but from necessity. A revolution is a return from the factitious to the real. It takes place because it must."
"No revolution is made out of shame. I reply: Shame is already revolution of a kind."
