Sheep Revolution Status Quo

More From Ellen Glasgow

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?
Real Latin Men
A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. we humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. humans keep each other in line. and they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different.
Dog Sheep Laughing
A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.
Wall Hate Singing
First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.
Believe Mean Goal
Women have an incredible ability to pick up on emotional signals. for example, there are some wolves that are so clever they have learned to dress up like sheep. man says, "looks like a sheep. talks like a sheep." woman says, "ain't no sheep!"

Similar Quotes
Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature has made them.
Clever Stupid Men
If i could only fancy myself clever, it would be better, but to be a failure of nature and to know it is not a comfortable lot. it is the last lesson one learns, to be contented with one's inferiority -- but it must be learned.

Sometimes you have to be clever.

The most powerful political moments for me come when i feel like my actions are aligned with a certain truth. i can feel it. when i'm talking to a group and i'm saying something truthful, i can feel a power that comes out of those statements that is different than when i'm just being glib or clever.
