Tariq Ramadan

If the experience of science teaches anything, it's that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that.
John Polkinghorne

Turning points in human consciousness occur when new energy regimes converge with new communications revolutions, creating new economic eras.

All gentle cant and philosophizing to the contrary notwithstanding, no people in this world ever did achieve their freedom by goody-goody talk and moral suasion: it being immutable law that all revolutions that will succeed, must begin in blood.

Paul Revere earned his living as a silversmith. But what do we remember him for? His volunteer work. All activism is volunteering in that it's done above and beyond earning a living and deals with what people really care passionately about. Remember, no one gets paid to rebel. All revolutions start with volunteers.
Susan J. Ellis

The spiritual world needs two revolutions: One is to separate God from religion and the other is to separate religion from God! This purification process will make God less human and more universal.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
In politics experiments means revolutions.
Benjamin Disraeli

You can see why the Marxist left would resist the idea that Hitler was a revolutionary. Because if he was, then either Hitler was a force for good, or revolutions can be bad.
Jonah Goldberg
Image
The most important of all revolutions, a revolution in sentiments, manners and moral opinions.
Edmund Burke

The greatest and most powerful revolutions often start very quietly, hidden in the shadows. Remember that.
Richelle Mead
Image
History respects revolutions and yet, if a revolution is progressive, support it if it is reactionary, resist it!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.
Daphne Guinness
Image
All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
And lastly, the political revolutions from 1911 to the present time have done more to bring about tremendous social changes everywhere than even the economic and industrial changes and the new schools.
Hu Shih
Image
Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought.
Kwame Nkrumah
Image
The great Christian revolutions came not by the discovery of something that was not known before. They happen when someone takes radically something that was always there.
H. Richard Niebuhr
Image
Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.
