Charles Dickens: It’s always something, to know you’ve done the most you could. But don’t leave off hoping, or it’s of no use doing anything. Hope, hope to the last. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4099


Jonas Salk: Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4100








John Adams: When people talk of the Freedom of Writing, Speaking, or thinking, I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4106


C. L. Anderson: This is what hope does to you when you’re not used to it. It is very like being drunk. You don’t realize how badly you’re impaired until you see the results of your spree. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4107








Paul Goodman: Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4113





Wesley Clark: (There) is a memo (at the Pentagon) that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4117


Robert Sobukwe: We want to make the African people conscious of the fact that they have to win their own liberation, rely on themselves to carry on a relentless and determined struggle instead of relying on court cases and negotiating on their behalf by "sympathetic" whites. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4118


Malcolm X: The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4119


Stalin: The task is to continue the uncompromising struggle on two fronts: against the 'Lefts', who represent petty-bourgeois radicalism, and against the Rights, who represent petty-bourgeois liberalism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4120



Stalin: The October Revolution is the first revolution in world history to provide the workers and soldiers of the West with a living, salvation-bringing example and to impel them on to the path of real emancipation from the yoke of war and imperialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4121


Stalin: The national question must not be regarded as something self-contained and fixed for all time. Being only part of the general question of the transformation of the existing order, the national question is wholly determined by the conditions of the social environment, by the kind of power in the country and by the whole course of social development in general. This is being strikingly borne out in the period of revolution in Russia, when the national question and the national movement in the border regions of Russia are rapidly and obviously changing their character in accordance with the course and outcome of the revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4122


Stalin: A new, socialist revolution was required to lead the country out of the blind alley of imperialist war and economic disintegration. That revolution came as a result of the October uprising. By overthrowing the power of the landlords and the bourgeoisie and replacing it by a government of workers and peasants, the October Revolution resolved the contradictions of the February Revolution at one stroke. The abolition of the omnipotence of the landlords and kulaks and the handing over of the land for the use of the labouring masses of the countryside; the expropriation of the mills and factories and their transfer to control by the workers; the break with imperialism and the ending of the predatory war; the publication of the secret treaties and the exposure of the policy of annexations; lastly, the proclamation of self-determination for the labouring masses of the oppressed peoples and the recognition of the independence of Finland -- such were the basic measures carried into effect by the Soviet power in the early period of the Soviet revolution. That was a genuinely socialist revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4123



George Orwell: Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4125


Trainspotting: The world is changing, music is changing,drugs are changing, even men and women are changing. One thousand years from now there'll be no guys and no girls, just wankers. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4126


Kim Jong-Un: Abuse of power, bureaucratism and corruption that are revealed in a ruling party are a dangerous poison that may lead it to become a party of aristocrats and bureaucrats. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4127



Stalin: We must not allow ourselves to be reassured by the fact that we have a million members in our Party, two million in the Young Communist League and ten million in the trade unions, and believe that this is all that is required for complete victory over our enemies. That is not true, comrades. History tells us that some of the biggest armies perished because they grew conceited, had too much faith in their own strength, paid too little heed to the strength of their enemies, gave themselves over to somnolence, lost their readiness for action, and at a critical moment were caught unawares. The biggest party may be caught unawares, the biggest party may perish, if it does not learn the lessons of history and does not work day in and day out to forge the readiness for action of its class. To be caught unaware is a most dangerous thing, comrades. To be caught unawares is to fall prey to "surprises," to panic in face of the enemy. And panic leads to break-down, to defeat, to destruction. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4128


Fred Hampton: If you get yourself involved in a revolutionary struggle then you’ve got to be serious. You got to know what you’re doing. You got to already have practiced some type of theory. That’s the reason we ask people to follow the leadership of the vanguard party. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4129


Ahmad Sa'adat: We see corporations profiting from the attacks on our movements & mass imprisonment of our people & U.S., European & Israeli police forces exchanging training with one another to escalate racism,“counter-insurgency” & repression on the streets of our cities, camps and villages. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4130
