Abbie Hoffman
Never impose your language on people you wish to reach.
Abbie Hoffman
Maintain a sense of humor. People who take themselves too seriously are power-crazy. If they win it will be haircuts for all. Beware of power freaks.

Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps.
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?
