With the author

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

Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations; use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.

Abbie Hoffman

The key to organizing an alternative society is to organize people around what they can do, and more importantly, what they want to do.

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

I'm a nomad. A Jewish road warrior. I do not have a concept of home. I wish I did. But I live with the idea that we have to get out of town before dawn.

Abbie Hoffman

When decorum is repression, the only dignity free men have is to speak out.

Abbie Hoffman

One of the unsung freedoms that go with a free press is the freedom not to read it.

Ferdinand Mount

Press freedom is not just about journalists, right? It's not just about us, it's not just about me, it's not just about Rappler. Press freedom is... the foundation of every single right of every single Filipino to the truth, so that we can hold the powerful to account.

Maria Ressa

When truth is no longer free, freedom is no longer real: the truths of the police are the truths of today.

Jacques Prevert

The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.

Bill Frist

Freedom goes hand-in-hand with mutual respect.

Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao

I would rather die in freedom on my way back home than starve to death here.

Morning Star

Until you have lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.

Margaret Mitchell

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

Haruki Murakami
