More quotes by 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.
Abbie Hoffman
Nostalgia is a form of depression both for a society and an individual.
Abbie Hoffman
Action is the only reality not only reality, but morality as well.

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
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
..you just get stoned, get the ideas in your head and then do 'em. And don't bullshit. I mean that's the thing about doin' that guerrilla theatre. You be prepared to die to prove your point.
Abbie Hoffman
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit.
Abbie Hoffman
Avoid all needle drugs, the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
