“Lenin is not comparable to any revolutionary figure in history. Revolutionaries have had ideals. Lenin has none.”

“The devotion of such titans of spirit as Lenin to an Ideal must bear fruit. The nobility of his selflessness will be an example through centuries to come, and his Ideal will reach perfection.”

“However much an ideologue tries to bury [Lenin] beneath a proof by historical analysis, there is always this one man standing their on the plain of History and of our lives, in the eternal 'current situation.' He goes on talking, calmly or passionately. He goes on talking about something simple: his revolutionary practice, the practice of class struggle, about what makes it possible to act on history...not to demonstrate that revolutions are inevitable, but to make them in our unique present.”

“The British are the only people in history crass enough to have made revolutionaries out of Americans.”

“There would be no Lenin without Rasputin.”

“We have to live a life that is more revolutionary than that of the revolutionaries.”
