Charles Eliot Norton: The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4176
First Amendment: Thus if the First Amendment means anything in this field, it must allow protests even against the moral code that the standard of the day sets for the community. In other words, literature should not be suppressed merely because it offends the moral code of the censor. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4177
Henry Steele Commager: Our tradition is one of protest and revolt, and it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past while we silence the rebels of the present. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4178
Eugene V. Debs: While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4179

Samuel Gompers: To be free, the workers must have choice. To have choice, they must retain in their own hands the right to determine under what conditions they will work. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4180

You have the watches, but we have the time. (Afghan proverb) - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4183
Mao Zedong: A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another. A rural revolution is a revolution by which the peasantry overthrows the power of the feudal landlord class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4184
Mao Zedong: Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4185
Napoleon Bonaparte: A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4186
Goethe: A great revolution is never the fault of the people, but of the government. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4187

Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4188
