I don't know the why (I was familiar with it as a stand-alone inspirational quote.)

But for clarity's sake: I am a girl and Sarah is my name.

One can never assume, :)

My question of "why" relates to the idea that there have been so many examples of a rebellion against society (status quo) by groups and individuals.

Some of these examples are successful, most are not, but all seem to act to make "the great mass of humanity through time" change in a common direction.

It's almost as if we have been evolving (?), and each case of rebellion is a sudden mutation....

If only we could figure out what constitutes a successful mutation.
