More quotes by Abbie Hoffman
The key to organizing an alternative society is to organize people around what they can do, and more importantly, what they want to do.
Abbie Hoffman
The work that the kids saw around them was so odious, so boring, so worthless that they came to regard WORK as the only dirty four-letter word in the English language.
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.
Abbie Hoffman
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger.
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
If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.
Abbie Hoffman
A modern revolutionary group heads for the television station, not the factory. It concentrates its energy on infiltrating and changing the image system.
Abbie Hoffman
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.
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
I was probably the only professed revolutionary ever referred to as cute.
Abbie Hoffman
Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.
Abbie Hoffman
Nostalgia is a form of depression both for a society and an individual.
Abbie Hoffman
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.
Abbie Hoffman
When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.
Abbie Hoffman
Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
Abbie Hoffman
I just want to do what has to be done so much. I'll never understand why everyone else doesn't feel this way.
Abbie Hoffman
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
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
There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning!
Abbie Hoffman
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
