Abbie Hoffman
Image
Peace is a very complicated concept. When the lion gobbles up the lamb and wipes his lips, then there's peace. Well, I ain't for that peace at all.
Abbie Hoffman

Image
Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
Abbie Hoffman
Image
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
Image
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.
