Abbie Hoffman
Fantasy is the only truth.

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.

Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education.

The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.

Abbie Hoffman

Structure is more important than content in the transmission of information.
Abbie Hoffman
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.
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
What if when they called a war, no one went?
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 '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
Abbie Hoffman
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
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
Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles.
