Quote

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!

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
Image
The first duty of a revolutionist is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain't going.

Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.

I learned one thing you never do anything for fame or money. You only do things 'cause they're fun or good. If you can combine the two at the same time, you can make a contribution to the world and have a lot of happiness.

Structure is more important than content in the transmission of information.

Once you get the right image the details aren't that important.

If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.

When I appear in the Chicago courtroom, I want to be tried not because I support the NLF - which I do - but because I have long hair.

The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.

Every rock or molotov cocktail thrown should make a very obvious political point. Random violence produces random propaganda results. Why waste even a rock?

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

Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.

I was probably the only professed revolutionary ever referred to as cute.

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.

When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.
Abbie Hoffman
Image
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.

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!
