I think that the people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
—DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER, 1959
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part . . . and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears . . . and you’ve got to make it stop.
—MARIO SAVIO, Berkeley, 1964
The road is strewn with many dangers. . . . First is the danger of futility; the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world’s ills. . . . Yet . . . each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out a
gainst injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
—ROBERT F. KENNEDY, Cape Town, South Africa, 1966
Our program is based on the conviction that man and mankind are capable not only of learning about the world, but also of changing it.
—ALEXANDER DUBCEK, speech in Bohemia, May 16, 1968
We criticize all society where people are passive.
—DANIEL COHN-BENDIT, visiting London, June 1968
Silence is sometimes a disgrace.
—YEVGENY YEVTUSHENKO, August 22, 1968
The youth rebellion is a worldwide phenomenon that has not been seen before in history. I do not believe they will calm down and be ad execs at thirty as the Establishment would like us to believe. Millions of young people all over the world are fed up with shallow unworthy authority running on a platform of bullshit.
—WILLIAM BURROUGHS, “The Coming of the Purple Better One,” Esquire, November 1968
The magic words are: Up against the wall motherfucker this is a stick-up!
