"History shows that there are no invincible armies."

"The revolution is not a dinner party, nor an essay, nor a painting, nor a piece of embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimo…"

"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?"

"The only real power comes from the barrel of a gun."

"We don’t need to be afraid of a little blood. It’s a good sign when the masses are ready to shed their blood for the revolution."
