Famous quotes containing the words green and/or revolution:
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Years were not required for a revolution of public opinion; days, nay hours, produced marked changes in this case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
