More quotes by Abbie Hoffman
Once you get the right image the details aren't that important.
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
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
Action is the only reality not only reality, but morality as well.
Abbie Hoffman
Structure is more important than content in the transmission of information.
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
The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
Abbie Hoffman
I was probably the only professed revolutionary ever referred to as cute.
Abbie Hoffman
I think the greatest legacy of the 1960s was the general feeling that not only can you fight the powers that be, but you can win.
Abbie Hoffman
Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.
Abbie Hoffman
What if when they called a war, no one went?
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
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
It's too late. We can't win, they've gotten too powerful.
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
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
The first duty of a revolutionist is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain't going.
Abbie Hoffman
When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.
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
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.
