Mao Zedong

Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one; it is man and not materials that counts.

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.

Keep the enemy in the dark about where and when our forces will attack.

Under the white population of the United States of America only the reactionary classes oppress the black population. Under no circumstance can they represent the workers, farmers and revolutionary intellectuals and other enlighted people who form the majority of the white population.

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.
