"We imagined ourselves as the Sons of Liberty with a mission to preserve, protect, and project the revolutionary spirit of rock and roll. We feared that the music which had given us sustenance was in danger of spiritual starvation. We feared it losing its sense of purpose, we feared it falling into fattened hands, we feared it floundering in a mire of spectacle, finance, and vapid technical complexity."

"To destroy images is something every revolution has been able to do."

"One can take the path of revolution but the revolution should not give a shock to the society. There is no place for violence in revolution."

"A revolution is interesting insofar as it avoids like the plague the plague it promised to heal."

"The greatest and most powerful revolutions often start very quietly, hidden in the shadows. Remember that."

"It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes."

"The revolution of today is the oppression of tomorrow."

"Revolution is a trivial shift in the emphasis of suffering."

"If the people are happy, united, wealthy, and powerful, we presume the rest. We conclude that to be good from whence good is derived."

"An ignorant man, who is not fool enough to meddle with his clock, is however sufficiently confident to think he can safely take to pieces, and put together at his pleasure, a moral machine of another guise, importance and complexity, composed of far other wheels, and springs, and balances, and counteracting and co-operating powers. Men little think how immorally they act in rashly meddling with what they do not understand. Their delusive good intention is no sort of excuse for their presumption. They who truly mean well must be fearful of acting ill."

"But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint."
