On Bhagat Singh’s 115th birth anniversary today, let us look at some interesting quotes from the great freedom fighter.

“They may kill me, but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.”

“May the sun in his course visit no land freer, happier, more lovely, than this our own country.”

“I am such a lunatic that I am free even in jail.”

“Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all.”

“I am full of ambition and hope and charm of life. But I can renounce everything at the time of need.”

“If the deaf have to hear, the sound has to be very loud.”

“Labour is the real sustainer of society.”

“Merciless criticism and independent thinking are two traits of revolutionary thinking. Lovers, lunatics and poets are made of the same stuff.”

“Bombs and pistols don't make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas.”

“People get accustomed to the established order of things and tremble at the idea of change. It is this lethargic spirit that needs be replaced by the revolutionary spirit.”
