About This Quote
A revolution is an organized attempt by a group of people to overthrow the government or existing order. When people think of a revolution they often imagine armed battles, invading armies, and bombs exploding. However, the truth is that revolutions are not always violent. Often they are peaceful protests, sometimes they are acts of civil disobedience, and some are even the result of stealth.
The greatest form of revolutions are those initiated by people who simply speak out against what they do not like about their government. As soon as these people speak out, they are often persecuted by the government itself, but this persecution does nothing to stop the revolution. It’s the revolutionaries that keep up the fight for freedom.
