Spontaneous Change

Famous quotes containing the words spontaneous and/or change:

    David Elkind (20th century)

    Most revolutionaries are potential Tories, because they imagine that everything can be put right by altering the shape of society; once that change is effected, as it sometimes is, they see no need for any other.
