"We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society founded upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution. The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin."

And this very fundamentalism is the cause of all the growing conflicts between the student-body of the education society and the teachers running that society.

Small acts can make a big difference when there is a background of concern, understanding, and preliminary activism."

"You can carry out a spiritual revolution by making God's truth the head of everything."
"Become the destroyer of sects - become the breaker of privileges " become the messenger of equality " become the prophet of goodness."
"Dead anarchists make martyrs, you know, and keep living for centuries. But absent ones can be forgotten."
"Real education is about revolution."
"In every nation's history time comes to behave like wild horses, to refuse any kind of authority which tries to eliminate your freedom!"
