Roger Baldwin: Silence never won rights. They are not handed down from above; they are forced by pressures from below. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5798


Karl Marx: Given a fall in the value of money, the price of labour, unless it rises in the same proportion, falls, the rate of surplus value rises, and therefore, all other things remaining the same, the rate of profit rises too. This rise of the latter — as long as the descendant oscillation in the value of money continues — is due solely to the fall in wages, and this fall is due to the fact that the change in wages is slow. to match the change in the value of money. (As was the case at the end of the 16th and in the 17th century.) Conversely, if, with the value of money rising, wages do not fall in the same proportion, the rate of surplus value falls, and therefore, caeteris paribus, the rate of profit. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5799



Georgi Plekhanov: An Anarchist is a man who – when he is not a police agent – is fated always and everywhere to attain the opposite of that which he attempts to achieve. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5800


Fidel Castro: When the bribes have done their work; when all forces have spoken, here will remain the Cuban people. We will be here with courage and the right and the battle against us will not be easy, for bribes and intimidation and blackmail will mean nothing. It will be a matter then of facing the honor and dignity of the Cuban people who do not surrender or sell themselves. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5801



Julian Assange: I am in love with understanding the world, and sharing that understanding with other people. It’s a bit hard to describe how much I’m in love with that, and have been for many years. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5802






Thomas Aquinas: If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5805









David Ogilvy: It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5810



Warren Buffett: Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5811















Henrik Ibsen: I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. You are very fond, sir, of talking about the consideration we owe to the community; it seems to me, however, that the community has its duties too. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5820

Enver Hoxha: On April 7, 1939, we fell into bondage, into heavy servitude, when fascism, the greatest enemy of our people and of all mankind, invaded our country. The great war was in the making, the great slaughter was being prepared by Hitler and Mussolini. We paid the first toll. The international outlook was gloomy. Europe was arming at a feverish pace, and not a single voice was raised in our defence save the cries of our people betrayed by the government of the time, crying out for weapons to fight the Italians. The betrayal was complete. The intriguing politicians, the speculators were riding high. They extended their hands to the occupiers who made common cause with them in order to suppress the people, to make them slaves, fodder for their guns. The fascists and the traitors worked systematically to quell any resistance, to smother all patriotic feeling, to trample underfoot the honour of our country, to obliterate our customs and language, and to colonize Albania, so that the Italians could strike out from our country at our neighbours and at the Soviet Union. But amidst the black terror, the great resistance was born among our people, who rose to their feet to win back the freedom which had been stolen from them. Barbarous fascism, armed to the teeth with the most modern weapons and aided by the traitors, came up against our brave fighters who had freedom in their hearts, their iron will, and infinite self-sacrifice. The sons of the people, who felt the agonies of their homeland and who bore on their shoulders the sufferings, the hardships and the sorrows of an entire people, stood up to fight. Many of those who, in the first hours of the war, fell martyrs for this people whom they loved so much, fell with a song on their lips, happy because they knew what they were fighting for, and that with their life's blood they would raise a new Albania. This was the battle cry and the people's call to arms sounded by the vanguard; it told them that the country was threatened with death, that they must take up arms and, with merciless and unceasing war, liberate the homeland. The Albanian people heard the call of their sons; the blood flowing in the streets of towns and villages was their own blood, and so the people took up arms. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5821



Malcolm X: The Palestinian struggle is not just a cry for justice, it’s a blistering battle for the most fundamental human rights that every living soul on this planet should inherit. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5822
