“The most indubitable feature of a revolution is the direct interference of the masses in historic events. In ordinary times the state… elevates itself above the nation, and history is made by specialists in that line of business… But at those crucial moments when the old order becomes no longer endurable to the masses, they break over the barriers excluding them from the political arena, sweep aside their traditional representatives, and create by their own interference the initial groundwork for a new regime.”
Leon Trotsky
“Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don't remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don't understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.”
Teresa of Avila
“True progress lies in the direction of decentralization, both territorial and functional, in the development of the spirit of local and personal initiative, and of free federation from the simple to the compound, in lieu of the present hierarchy from the centre to the periphery.”
Peter Kropotkin
