“Sometimes we know who we want to be and what we want to do long… long before we know how to get there.”

“Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it’s going to kill us.”

“Do we function in sets of ten in the wilderness? How do we know how long we will have to do something?”

“We can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough.”

“World peace is as simple and elegant as E=mc2. Peace is not a mystery. We know what peace is. The questions are: How do we get there? How long does it take to get there? Do we need another Einstein to help figure this out?”

“If we know the secret of how the universe thinks and works, then we will get everything we want.”

“Far more crucial than what we know or do not know is what we do not want to know.”

“We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it.”

“We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.”

“We do know from the numbers of people who have come out already--and from the anger that we know exists in the communities where we live--that people want to fight. They don't necessarily know how to fight or what to do. But they want to, and that's important because it means people want things to be different, and that's an important starting place to work with. For people who want to do something, and do it now, this means we have to be both patient in terms of how larger movements develop, but also urgent about doing the work of organizing for the things we can do now. Movements aren't built by waiting for the struggle to develop and build itself--it's based on what we do today.”
