Revolution Betrayed

Famous quotes containing the words revolution and/or betrayed:

“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

“I am fourteen
and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret”
—Audre Lorde (b. 1934)
