More quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Random political acts produce random political results. Why waste even a rock?
Abbie Hoffman
The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.
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
Life-actors never rehearse and need no script. A life-actor uses whatever he has available, nothing more, nothing less.
Abbie Hoffman
Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them.
Abbie Hoffman
Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps.
Abbie Hoffman
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!
Abbie Hoffman
Free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire.
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
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
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
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
My critique of democracy begins and ends with this point. Kids must be educated to disrespect authority or else democracy is a farce.
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
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
When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.
Abbie Hoffman
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Abbie Hoffman
It's too late. We can't win, they've gotten too powerful.
Abbie Hoffman
Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.
