Zitat des Tages über Revolutionen / Revolutions:

Fashions have done more harm than revolutions. Victor Hugo

Over the centuries, this zero-sum-game view of the world has been responsible for wars, revolutions, political strategies, and human suffering of unfathomable proportions.

Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.

Victor Hugo

Before, revolutions used to have ideological names. They could be communist, they could be liberal, they could be fascist or Islamic.

Ivan Krastev

The word 'revolution' first brings to mind violent upheavals in the state, but ideas of revolution in science, and of political revolution, are almost coeval.
