“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell.” ~Aldous Huxley
“Go With The Flow”
“Sex, drugs, and insanity have always worked for me, but I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone” ~Hunter S. Thompson
“It is better to be feared than to be loved.”
~And old quote but I first heard it in Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” was one of Lestat’s everlasting quotes.
“We are here to make a better world. No amount of rationalization or blaming can preempt the moment of choice each of us brings to our situation here on this planet. The lesson of the ’60s is that people who cared enough to do right could change history. We didn’t end racism but we ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you could send half-a-million soldiers around the world to fight a war that people do not support. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. We made the environment an issue that couldn’t be avoided. The big battles that we won cannot be reversed. We were young, self-righteous, reckless, hypocritical, brave, silly, headstrong and scared half to death. And We Were Right.”
~Abbie Hoffman
“You just get stoned, get the ideas in your head and just do ‘em. And don’t bullshit. That’s the thing about doin’ that geurrilla theatre. You be prepared to die to prove your point.”
~Abbie Hoffman
“”Smoking dope and hanging up Che’s picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps. A revolution in consciousness is an empty high without a revolution in the distribution of power. We are not interested in the greening of Amerika except for the grass that will cover its grave.”
~ A.H
“Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines, and in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them.”
~A.H
“Hey, Hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?”
~Anti-War Slogan
“You can kill a revolutionary but you can’t kill the revolution.”
~Fred Hampton
“Avoid all needle drugs. The only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.”
~A.H
“We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism-and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capital-instruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence.”
~Che
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”
~Erica Jung
“The relationship between rock and revolution is granting that most musicians are a bunch of avaricious ass-sucking dogs, and most of the song writers (too), myself in many ways included. It’s the form or the intention, or the implications of the music that make it interesting to the revolutionary. It’s a tool and a tactic for getting children to revolt against the protoplasm that raised them and consider other forms of government, other forms of dealing with the situation. When you coordinate and liberate and release the sexuality and the minds of youth, and can twist it and change it toward a different goal and direction, via rock ‘n roll, via fucking in the streets, via dope, via action, direct action … then you can maybe push this country and we can rewrite the whole structure, based on the kind of energy released by rock ‘n roll.”
~Ed Saunders
“What luck for the rulers that men do not think.”
~Adolf Hitler
“I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter—what a joke.”
~Pink
