Miguel de Cervantes: He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5070


Miguel de Cervantes: In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5071





Miguel de Cervantes: Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5074









Miguel de Cervantes: Liberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven has bestowed on man; with it we cannot compare the treasures which the earth contains or the sea conceals; for liberty, as for honor, we can and ought to risk our lives; and, on for the other hand, captivity is the greatest evil that can befall man. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5081

Kim Jong-Il: Art that moves the people's thoughts and hearts is a powerful weapon of the revolutionary struggle that transforms the world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5088


Ted Grant: Not a wheel turns, not a lightbulb shines and not a telephone rings without the kind permission of the working class. But under capitalism, the means of production are the private property of the capitalist class: they own the machinery, the plants and the factories. The workers have no claim either to the instruments or the products of their labour, and they have no choice but to work in order to survive. This entire process is not planned according to social need, but operates anarchically to maximise profit for the capitalists. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5089



William Lloyd Garrison: With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5090


Gore Vidal: There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5091


George L. Jackson: The U.S. is the Korean problem, the Vietnamese problem, the problem in the Congo, Angola, Mozambique, the Middle East. It's the grease in the British and Latin Amerikan guns that operate against the masses of common people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5092

Bible: I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander(a) of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5094


Bible: I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5095



Bertrand Russell: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5096







Antonio Machado: in Spain the best is the people. In the hard trances, the ladies invoke the homeland and sell it. The people don't even name her, but she buys her blood and save it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5101
