“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
“But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is... to tell the truth.”
“Protest beyond the law is not a departure from democracy; it is absolutely essential to it.”
“Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.”
“How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism?”
“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.”
“You can't be neutral on a moving train.”
“In war, good guys always become bad guys.”
“If the gods had intended for people to vote, they would have given us candidates.”
“Tyranny is Tyranny, let it come from whom it may.”
“They have the guns, we have the poets. Therefore, we will win.”
