The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.

Insurgents are like conquerors: they must go forward; the moment they are stopped, they are lost.

The peasants alone are revolutionary, for they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The starving peasant, outside the class system, is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms. 

The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty.

To cast aside obedience, and by popular violence to incite revolt, is treason, not against man only, but against God.

Who draws his sword against his prince must throw away the scabbard.

I have been ever of the opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny, they have only shifted it to another shoulder.

The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man, not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made—through disobedience and through rebellion.

Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power.

Make the revolution a parent of settlement and not a nursery of future revolutions.
