Cathy was the first widely syndicated humor strip created by a woman. The strip was pretty revolutionary at the time not only because it starred a female but also because it was so emotionally honest about all the conflicting feelings many women had in 1976.

To my utter despair I have discovered and discover every day anew that there is in the masses no revolutionary idea or hope or passion.

And if there's any hope for America it lies in a revolution and if there's any hope for a revolution in America it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.

Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home kill your parents that's where it's really at.

We decry violence all the time in this country but look at our history. We were born in a violent revolution and we've been in wars ever since. We're not a pacific people.

I think there was a revolution in poetry associated chiefly with Eliot and Pound but maybe it is of the nature of revolutions or of the nature of history that their innovations should later come to look trivial or indistinguishable from technical tricks.

Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.

History is the only true teacher the revolution the best school for the proletariat.

I wanted to make sure that this be the first scientific and technology revolution in history in which the public thoroughly discussed all the potential benefits and all the potential harms in advance of the technology coming online and running its course.

The ultimate purpose of religious life is to make this evolution move in a direction far more important to the destiny of the ego than the moral health of the social fabric which forms his present environment.

Thought is subversive and revolutionary destructive and terrible Thought is merciless to privilege established institutions and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free.

I have a great respect for incremental improvement and I've done that sort of thing in my life but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.

You can have a revolution wherever you like except in a government office even were the world to come to an end you'd have to destroy the universe first and then government offices.

The world runs on individuals pursuing their self interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way.
