...it is not good to submit patiently to wrong, or to rest contented under misfortune. I urge that it is... nobler far to wage war against wrong, better far to carefully investigate the causes of wrong and misfortune, with a view to their removal. Contentment under wrong is a crime, voluntary submission under oppression is not the virtue some would have it to be.

• 2

It was one of those extraordinary outbursts, so frequent in the Middle Ages, which still occur among masses of human beings under the stress of some primeval emotion.

• 3

I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.

• 4

Hunger makes a coward of the isolated individual but when that hunger is generally felt it becomes a source of rage and audacity.

• 11

Power operates only destructively, bent always on forcing every manifestation of social life into the straitjacket of its rules. Its intellectual expression is dead dogma, its physical form brute force.

• 12

...they won't eat me without my kicking up a protest!
