Does anyone know the quote that says something like, - "it takes a few broken eggs to start a revolution?"

Answer 1

to me it means the outcast of the norm, what is accepted, are the ones who will cause a revolution
one often in a society is considered whole, or right, if they conform, conformity continues the status quo, what is
so the not whole ones, the broken ones, the ones not accepted or oppossed to a certain society and conditions, are the ones who will revolt

Answer 2

Maybe this?

"Here's a true fact (the best kind) I learned recently while reading Niall Ferguson's Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power. You probably thought it was Stalin who said you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs (i.e., don't cry over the poor saps we have to kill for reasons of state). So did I. But actually it was late-19th-century British MP Joseph Chamberlain, a leading imperialist and enemy of Irish Home Rule. Also the daddy of Neville Chamberlain, who bequeathed to latter-day imperialists the one historical analogy they appear to know"

Answer 3

I know, "you have to break some eggs to make an omelet"

I think the meaning is that you have to make some sacrifices (the eggs) to get what you want (the omelet, revolution)

Answer 4

It means you have to crack a few heads violently to start a revolution. It is a plea that the ends justify the means. I dont agree.
