Famous quotes containing the words velvet and/or revolution:
“Let the soil squeal I am the biting man
And the velvet dead inch out.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
