Social Revolutions

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or revolutions:

“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essence—that, is, the individual—pure and strong.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

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