“We want to challenge the established ideas with new ideas.”
Jack Layton (1950–2011) Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada
In his victory speech after winning the NDP leadership on the first ballot, Jan. 26, 2003.
“In this time of the great struggle for a new art we fight like disorganized 'savages' against an old, established power. The battle seems to be unequal, but spiritual matters are never decided by numbers, only by the power of ideas. The dreaded weapons of the 'savages' are their new ideas. New ideas kill better than steel and destroy what was thought to be indestructible.”
1911 - 1914, The 'Savages' of Germany' (1912)
