Here are some powerful quotes by Bhagat Singh:- 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.
- It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas.
- Every tiny molecule of ash is in motion with my heat I am such a Lunatic that I am free even in jail.
- Life is lived in your own spirit, you only need others help in funerals only.
- One should not interpret the word "Revolution" in its literal sense. Various meanings and significances are attributed to this word, according to the interests of those who use or misuse it. For the established agencies of exploitation it conjures up a feeling of blood stained horror. To the revolutionaries it is a sacred phrase.
- The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below.
