Revolution

"The key to organizing an alternative society is to organize people around what they can do and more importantly, what they want to do." (Revolution for the Hell of It (1968)

"Maintain a sense of humor. People who take themselves too seriously are power-crazy. If they win it will be haircuts for all. Beware of power freaks." (AZQuotes.com)

"Never impose your language on people you wish to reach." (AZQuotes.com)

"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." (AZQuotes.com)

"It is always the young that make the change. You don't get these ideas when you're middle-aged. Young people have daring, creativity, imagination and personal computers... This is your opportunity. Be adventurists in the sense of being bold and daring." (AZQuotes.com)
