I've never joined any organization - not even the ones I've organized myself. I prize my own independence too much.

The despair is there; now it's up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radical social change.

True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.

They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.

Control healthcare and you control the people

Never let a crisis go to waste

History is a relay of revolutions.

In the beginning the organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems.

Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.

The establishment can accept being screwed, but not being laughed at

Life is a desert of shifting sand dunes. Unpredictable. Erratic. Harmony changes into dissonance, the immediate outlives the profound, esoteric becomes cliched. And vice versa.

You can't trust the internet.

Don't save up love like you're trying to retire on it; give it away like you're made of it.

I prefer a painful truth over any blissful fantasy.

I learn the lines and pray to God.

All through life there were distinctions - toilets for men, toilets for women; clothes for men, clothes for women - then, at the end, the graves are identical.

In worship we meet the power of God and stand in its strengthening.

There is no unique picture of reality.

I'm not living in the shadows anymore. I want to walk in the sun. But I can't do that without you.

My job is to play chess, the game that I love. I achieve what I can in chess. That is what I focus on. Basically, I am always focused on playing the game, and this is important to me.
