"People like me sound like a lot..." - Quote by Mao Zedong

“The People's democratic dictatorship is based on the alliance of the working class, the peasantry and the urban petty bourgeoisie, and mainly on the alliance of the workers and the peasants, because these two classes comprise 80 to go per cent of China's population. These two classes are the main force in overthrowing imperialism and the Kuomintang reactionaries. The transition from New Democracy to socialism also depends mainly upon their alliance.”

“An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.”

“As far as world war goes, there are really only two possibilities: either war provokes revolution, or revolution averts war.”

“Don't walk in my head with your dirty feet.”

“Nature does not have to insist.”

“I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.”

“I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.”

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.”

“Posthumous men-myself, for example-are not as well understood as timely ones, but we are listened to better. More precisely: we are never understood-hence our authority.”
