"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."
"Quite like religious fundamentalism, educational fundamentalism is based upon bookish creeds created by the self-proclaimed authority figures of the system. 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. These conflicts further become tools of exploitation in the hands of a handful of war-mongering, authoritarian, blood-sucking politicians."
"The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing."
"You can carry out a spiritual revolution by making God's truth the head of everything."
"Dead anarchists make martyrs, you know, and keep living for centuries. But absent ones can be forgotten."
"The revolution of consciousness is connected to the food revolution."

"In a public dialogue with Salman in London he [Edward Said] had once described the Palestinian plight as one where his people, expelled and dispossessed by Jewish victors, were in the unique historical position of being 'the victims of the victims': there was something quasi-Christian, I thought, in the apparent humility of that statement."
"The whole point about corruption in politics is that it can't be done, or done properly, without a bipartisan consensus."
"All questions of right to one side, I have never been able to banish the queasy inner suspicion that Israel just did not look, or feel, either permanent or sustainable. I felt this when sitting in the old Ottoman courtyards of Jerusalem, and I felt it even more when I saw the hideous 'Fort Condo' settlements that had been thrown up around the city in order to give the opposite impression. If the statelet was only based on a narrow strip of the Mediterranean littoral (god having apparently ordered Moses to lead the Jews to one of the very few parts of the region with absolutely no oil at all), that would be bad enough. But in addition, it involved roosting on top of an ever-growing population that did not welcome the newcomers."
"If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it's a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women."
"The enduring rapture with magic and fable has always struck me as latently childish and somehow sexless (and thus also related to childlessness)."
"We live only a few conscious decades, and we fret ourselves enough for several lifetimes."
"To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation-is that good for the world?"
"What better way for a ruling class to claim and hold power than to pose as the defenders of the nation."
