"A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another."
"Deaths have benefits. They can fertilise the ground."
"Maybe you're afraid of sinking. Don't think about it. If you don't think about it, you won't sink. If you do, you will."
"Civilize the mind but make savage the body."
"What is work? Work is struggle. There are difficulties and problems in those places for us to overcome and solve. We go there to work and struggle to overcome these difficulties. A good comrade is one who is more eager to go where the difficulties are greater."
