Perhaps a revolution can overthrow autocratic despotism and profiteering or power-grabbing oppression, but it can never truly reform a manner of thinking; instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones they replace, will serve as a leash for the great unthinking mass.

Thinking Revolution Reform

More From Immanuel Kant

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. hunger is a weapon of mass destruction. poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction. poor education is a weapon of mass destruction. discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction. let us abolish such weapons of mass destruction here at home.

First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

All the charming and beautiful things, from the song of songs, to bouillabaisse, and from the nine beethoven symphonies to the martini cocktail, have been given to humanity by men who, when the hour came, turned from tap water to something with color in it, and more in it than mere oxygen and hydrogen.

I urge young women to look ahead and see if they want to have a lonely old age or do they want to have what i have, which is the joy of 14 beautiful grandchildren.

If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay. why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! for you are the secret treasure-bearer, and always have been. didn’t you know?

Have you ever been experienced? not necessarily stoned, but beautiful.
