It's embarrassing when you try to overthrow the government and you wind up on the Best Seller's List.
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
The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
Abbie Hoffman
Image
I think we are constantly faced with the same decision. The decision to be blindly obedient to authority versus the decision to try and change things by fighting the powers that be is always, throughout history, the only decision.
Abbie Hoffman
Image
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.
