Quotes with masaniello

Quotes 1 till 1 of 1.

• Most commonly revolt is born of material circumstances; but insurrection is always a moral phenomenon. Revolt is Masaniello, who led the Neapolitan insurgents in 1647; but insurrection is Spartacus. Insurrection is a thing of the spirit, revolt is a thing of the stomach.

  Victor Hugo
  French writer (1802 - 1885)
