"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."
"The revolution that counts is the one that takes place in the imagination; many kinds of change issue forth thereafter, some gradual and subtle, some dramatic and conflict-ridden--which is to say that revolution doesn't necessarily look like revolution."
"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."

"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."
"The revolution of consciousness is connected to the food revolution."
"You can carry out a spiritual revolution by making God's truth the head of everything."
"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."
