More quotes by Leon Trotsky

Leon Trotsky
The Soviet State does not need either illusions or camouflage. It can claim only that world authority which is confirmed by the facts.
Leon Trotsky

Leon Trotsky

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
Leon Trotsky
In Stalin each [Soviet bureaucrat] easily finds himself. But Stalin also finds in each one a small part of his own spirit. Stalin is the personification of the bureaucracy. That is the substance of his political personality.
Leon Trotsky
It is also false that the revolution ripens and comes to development only in the national soil.
Leon Trotsky
Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
Leon Trotsky
Bureaucracy and social harmony are inversely proportional to each other.
Leon Trotsky
Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.
Leon Trotsky
Revolutions are always verbose.
Leon Trotsky
Not believing in force is the same as not believing in gravity.
Leon Trotsky
