More quotes by Abbie Hoffman
The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
Abbie Hoffman
It's going to be a combination Scopes trial, revolution in the streets, Woodstock Festival and People's Park, all rolled into one.
Abbie Hoffman
Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.
Abbie Hoffman
If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.
Abbie Hoffman
When I appear in the Chicago courtroom, I want to be tried not because I support the NLF - which I do - but because I have long hair.
Abbie Hoffman
Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps.
Abbie Hoffman
The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.
Abbie Hoffman
There is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning. I think I've learned that lesson twice now. The essence of successful revolution, be it for an individual, a community of individuals, or a nation, depends on accepting that challenge.
Abbie Hoffman
A modern revolutionary group heads for the television station, not the factory. It concentrates its energy on infiltrating and changing the image system.
Abbie Hoffman
I think we are constantly faced with the same decision. The decision to be blindly obedient to authority versus the decision to try and change things by fighting the powers that be is always, throughout history, the only decision.
Abbie Hoffman
The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain't going.
Abbie Hoffman
The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
Abbie Hoffman
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger.
Abbie Hoffman
The first duty of a revolutionist is to get away with it. The second duty is to eat breakfast. I ain't going.
Abbie Hoffman
Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.
Abbie Hoffman
I just want to do what has to be done so much. I'll never understand why everyone else doesn't feel this way.
Abbie Hoffman
You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.
Abbie Hoffman
I think the greatest legacy of the 1960s was the general feeling that not only can you fight the powers that be, but you can win.
Abbie Hoffman
It's embarrassing when you try to overthrow the government and you wind up on the Best Seller's List.
Abbie Hoffman
Expedience, not justice, is the rule of contemporary American law.
