More quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Hep is a very dangerous disease that can cause a number of permanent conditions, including death, which is extremely permanent.
Abbie Hoffman
It's going to be a combination Scopes trial, revolution in the streets, Woodstock Festival and People's Park, all rolled into one.
Abbie Hoffman
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.
Abbie Hoffman
I think the greatest legacy of the 1960s was the general feeling that not only can you fight the powers that be, but you can win.
Abbie Hoffman
Wouldn't you want to be indicted by the govenment for a high crime? It's a great thrill. It's an honor. It's a compliment. It's fun. I'm enjoying every minute of it!
Abbie Hoffman
If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.
Abbie Hoffman
In this state, dig it, you get twenty years for sale of dope to a minor. You only get five to ten for manslaughter. So like, the thing is, if you're selling to a kid and cops come, shoot the kid real quick!
Abbie Hoffman
Every rock or molotov cocktail thrown should make a very obvious political point. Random violence produces random propaganda results. Why waste even a rock?
Abbie Hoffman
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
Abbie Hoffman
Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
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.
Abbie Hoffman
Never impose your language on people you wish to reach.
Abbie Hoffman
The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
Abbie Hoffman
I just want to do what has to be done so much. I'll never understand why everyone else doesn't feel this way.
Abbie Hoffman
It's too late. We can't win, they've gotten too powerful.
Abbie Hoffman
To steal from a brother or sister is evil. To not steal from the institutions that are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral.
Abbie Hoffman
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger.
Abbie Hoffman
The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
Abbie Hoffman
There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning. I think I've learned that lesson twice now. The essence of successful revolution, be it for an individual, a community of individuals, or a nation, depends on accepting that challenge.
Abbie Hoffman
A modern revolutionary group heads for the television station, not the factory. It concentrates its energy on infiltrating and changing the image system.
