We apologize for the inconveniences, but this is a revolution. - Subcomandante Marcos, 1994 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. - Oscar Wilde, 1891 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rebellion is no less a sin than divination. - Book of Samuel c.55b.c ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The history of mankind is one long record of giving revolution another trial - and then limping back at last to sanity, safety, and work. - E.W Howe 1926 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every revolution by force only puts more violent means of enslavement into the hands of the persons in power. - Leo Tolstoy, 1893 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O God! That one might read the book of fate, and see the revolution of the times make mountains level - and the continent - weary of solid firmness - melt itself into the sea! - William Shakespeare, 1597 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a kind of revolution of so general a character that it changes the mental tastes as well as the fortunes of the world. - La Rochefoucauld 1665. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All men recognize the right of revolution, that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or is inefficiency are great and unendurable. - H.D Thoreau 1849 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The spirit of revolution, the spirit of insurrection, is a spirit radically opposed to liberty. - Francois Guizot, 1830 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. - Benjamin Franklin, 1776 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. - Abraham Lincoln, 1861 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revolutions cannot, or rather can no longer, be accomplished by a minority. A revolutionary minority, no matter how intelligent and energetic, is not enough, in modern societies atleast, to bring about a revolution. The cooperation and adhesion of a majority, and an immense majority, is needed. - Jean Jaures, 1901
