“The real action is in the enemy's reaction.”

“True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.”

“The first step in community organization is community disorganization.”

“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

“Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.”

“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

“Change means movement. Movement means friction.”

“Lest we forget an over-the-shoulder acknowledgement to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.”

“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
