" "

Before it explodes, a bomb is a single entity in which opposites coexist in given conditions. The explosion takes place only when a new condition, ignition, is present. An analogous situation arises in all those natural phenomena which finally assume the form of open conflict to resolve old contradictions and produce new things.

Additional quotes by Mao Zedong

总之,我们必须学会全面地看问题,不但要看到事物的正面,也要看到它的反面。在一定的条件下,坏的东西可以引出好的结果,好的东西也可以引出坏的结果。老子在二千多年以前就说过:“祸兮福所倚,福兮祸所伏。”

一九二七年革命失败以后,革命的主观力量确实大为削弱了。剩下的一点小小的力量,若仅依据某些现象来看,自然要使同志们(作这样看法的同志们)发生悲观的念头。但若从实质上看,便大大不然。这里用得着中国的一句老话:“星星之火,可以燎原。”这就是说,现在虽只有一点小小的力量,但是它的发展会是很快的。它在中国的环境里不仅是具备了发展的可能性,简直是具备了发展的必然性,这在五卅运动及其以后的大革命运动已经得了充分的证明。我们看事情必须要看它的实质,而把它的现象只看作入门的向导,一进了门就要抓住它的实质,这才是可靠的科学的分析方法。
