“The blood that is spilling is not my responsibility. It is the responsibility of Mrs. 'No.”

“Freedom is based on respect, and respect is earned by the spilling of blood”
"Postscript", p. 157.
The Anarchist Cookbook (1971)
Context: The best advice possible on any legal matter is (1) maintain your cool and temper, (2) keep your mouth shut, (3) get a good lawyer and call your family, and (4) never forget what you have been through. Allow the fear and loneliness, and hatred to build inside you, rather than diminish with time. Allow your passions to fertilize the seeds of constructive revolution. Allow your love of freedom to overcome the false values placed on human life. For the only method to communicate with the enemy is to speak on his own level, using his own terms. Freedom is based on respect, and respect is earned by the spilling of blood.
