"The brutalities of progress are called revolutions...." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“Philosophy should be an energy; it should find its aim and its effect in the amelioration of mankind.”

“A thousand men enslaved fear one beast free.”

“Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.”

“Success only means doing something sincerely and wholeheartedly. I think life is a process. Through the ages, the end of heroes is the same as ordinary men. They all died and gradually faded away in the memory of man. But when we are still alive, we have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves and express ourselves. In this way, we can progress, but we may not be successful.”

“I will not walk backward in life.”

“We shall sooner have the fowl by hatching the egg than by smashing it.”

“In this Revolution, no plans have been written for retreat. Those who will not get into step will find that the parade has passed them by.”

“We need a revolution every 20 years just to keep government honest.”

“Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.”
