“When you talk about revolution, it's very easy to romanticize picking up a gun or marching in the street, but I think before we take any of those actions, violence of course being the last one, we first have to have a revolution of the mind.” ThinkingMindFirstsActionLastsCoursesEasyViolenceStreetsRevolutionGun Author:Immortal Technique
“I have never understood why they tried to start the revolution by taking over the universities. It should have been self-evident that the net result of success would be to close the universities but leave the nation unaffected--at least, for quite a long time. Nor do I find it easy to believe that the rebels, as intelligent as most of them were, seriously expected that they could keep the universities alive as corporate bodies, once they had control of them, if they made the fundamental alterations in organization and role that they proposed to.” IfsShouldBelieveLongHas BeensMadeSelfBodyWould BeNationsEasyResultsRolesAliveRevolutionLong TimeUnderstoodShould HaveOrganizationIntelligentFundamentalsUniversityExpectedCorporateRebelEvidentShould Have BeenAlterations Author:Muriel Beadle

“Revolution is a bitter thing, mixed with filth and blood, not as lovely or perfect as the poets think. It is eminently down to earth, involving many humble, tiresome tasks, not so romantic as the poets think... . So it is easy for all who have romantic dreams about revolution to become disillusioned on closer acquaintance, when a revolution is actually carried out.” ThinkingDreamEarthEasyPerfectBloodPoetRevolutionTasksHumbleLovelyBitterAcquaintanceInvolvingDown To EarthFilthDisillusionedTiresome Author:Lu Xun

“We have not inherited an easy world. If developments like the Industrial revolution, which began in England, and the gifts of science and technology have made life much easier for us, they have also made it more dangerous. There are threats now to our freedom, indeed to our very existence, that other generations could never even have imagined. There is first the threat of global war. No president, no Congress, no prime minister, no parliament can spend a day entirely free of this threat. If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.” WorldWarEasyPresidentExistenceTeachTechnologyDangerousRevolutionThreatScience And TechnologyIndustrial Revolution Author:Ronald Reagan
