Quotes

Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and [put] power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.

Bobby Seale

Tuesday isn't so bad...It's a sign that I've somehow survived Monday.

It is difficult to speak adequately or justly of London. It is not a pleasant place; it is not agreeable, or cheerful, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent.

Henry James
