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

The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain't going.
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
The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
Abbie Hoffman
Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.
Abbie Hoffman
Never impose your language on people you wish to reach.
Abbie Hoffman
It's too late. We can't win, they've gotten too powerful.

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

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
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
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
The idea that media is there to educate us, or to inform us, is ridiculous because that's about tenth or eleventh on their list.
Abbie Hoffman
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.
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
Fantasy is the only truth.
