Revolutions

Famous quotes containing the word revolutions:

“Revolution? Unscrew the flag-staff, wrap the bunting in the oil covers, and put the thing in the clothes-chest. Let the old lady bring you your house-slippers and untie your fiery red necktie. You always make revolutions with your mugs, your republic—nothing but an industrial accident.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

“Yes, revolutions are the only salves,
But they’re one thing that should be done by halves.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute.”
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
