The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little.
Charles Caleb Colton

Revolution is an instrument, like a party is an instrument.
Ernest Mandel

There is little doubt that we are in the midst of a revolution of a much more profound and fundamental nature than the social and political revolutions of the last half century.
Arthur Erickson

If today I stand here as a revolutionary, it is as a revolutionary against the Revolution.
Adolf Hitler

After the revolution, let us hope, prisons simply would not exist - if by prisons we mean places that could be experienced by the men and women in them at all as every place that goes by that name now is bound to be experienced.
Barbara Deming

Only since the Industrial Revolution have most people worked in places away from their homes or been left to raise small children without the help of multiple adults, making for an unsupported life.
Martha Beck

America, when it became known to Europeans, was, as it had long been, a scene of wide-spread revolution.
Francis Parkman

The Industrial Revolution was another of those extraordinary jumps forward in the story of civilization.
Stephen Gardiner

I think there was a revolution in poetry, associated chiefly with Eliot and Pound; but maybe it is of the nature of revolutions or of the nature of history that their innovations should later come to look trivial or indistinguishable from technical tricks.
Howard Nemerov

After the revolution, it might very well remain necessary to place people where they could not do harm to others. But the one under restraint should be cut off from the rest of society as little as possible.
Barbara Deming

The revolution came so suddenly, and in a way so utterly different from what we expected.
Herman Gorter

I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution.
Bianca Jagger

It's interesting to note that all revolutionary literature was written by pastors. These guys were involved in a revolution against the mightiest power that the world had ever seen.
Randall Terry

I mean, this whole digital revolution is really eroding the director's importance on a movie because, number one, just from a practical standpoint, with floppy disks and the ability to put all of the film onto a disk, more people have access to the movie.
John Frankenheimer

A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton

And the spirit of revolution will not die while the hearts of these workers continue to beat.
Ernst Toller

It may be impossible to have a revolution without crimes but that does not make revolution a crime.
Jose Bergamin

I think it does work. The fact that the law is there and injustices can be rectified, I think has a lot to do with the fact that the people in this country aren't as frustrated as they are in some of these places in Eastern Europe and don't resort to violent revolution.
Harold H. Greene

I promote revolution against the Capitalists and the Social Marxists.
Tom Metzger

I frequently compose out the entire metric structure of a piece in modified cyclic form, where each cyclic revolution undergoes some form of 'variation' much as if measure lengths were concrete musical 'material.'
