“The quintessential revolution is that of the spirit, born of an intellectual conviction of the need for change in those mental attitudes and values which shape the course of a nation's development. A revolution which aims merely at changing official policies and institutions with a view to an improvement in material conditions has little chance of genuine success. Without a revolution of the spirit, the forces which produced the iniquities of the old order would continue to be operative, posing a constant threat to the process of reform and regeneration.” NeedsLittlesSpiritValuesOrderCoursesForceNationsProcessBornChanceViewsAttitudeConditionsPolicyMaterialsRevolutionDevelopmentShapesIntellectualAimInstitutionsConstantThreatConvictionImprovementGenuineReformOfficialsNeed A ChangeMental AttitudeRegenerationIniquityPosingQuintessential Author:Aung San Suu Kyi
“Actually, if you go back to what Marx said in The Communist Manifesto over a hundred years ago, when in talking about the constant revolutions in technology, he ended that paragraph by saying, "All that is sacred is profaned, all that is solid melts into air, and men and women are forced to face with sober senses our conditions of life and our relations with our kind." We're at that sort of turning point in human history.” IfsMenYearsHumansKindSaidFacesTalkingTechnologyAirConditionsRevolutionHundredMen And WomenYears AgoRelationSacredConstantSensesCommunistSoberHuman HistoryParagraphTurning PointsManifestosCommunist Manifesto Author:Grace Lee Boggs

“Revolution was written into the U.S. Constitution so it's like they're in a constant state of revolution. But then again, happiness is written into their constitution as well, which makes them pretty unique.” WellsStatesWrittenRevolutionUniqueConstitutionConstant Author:Billy Connolly
“... the connection between imperial politics and culture is astonishingly direct. American attitudes to American "greatness", to hierarchies of race, to the perils of "other" revolutions (the American revolution being considered unique and somehow unrepeatable anywhere else in the world) have remained constant, have dictated, have obscured, the realities of empire, while apologists for overseas American interests have insisted on American innocence, doing good, fighting for freedom.” WorldRealityCultureFightingInterestRaceAttitudeGreatnessRevolutionUniqueDirectConnectionsConstantInnocenceEmpiresHierarchyPerilDoing GoodAmerican RevolutionFighting For FreedomAmerican GreatnessGood Fighting Author:Edward Said
