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
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
Nostalgia is a form of depression both for a society and an individual.
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
The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
