America's wars on the Middle East are immoral,
like our wars on Native Americans.
Our weapons are a hideous perversion of science,
our government a tyranny of apparatchiks, thieves and psychopaths.

How does it become a man to behave
toward this American government today?
I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.
~ Henry David Thoreau

When I get depressed I remind myself that all dictators eventually fall from power and perish. Think about it. Always.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

If you are neutral in situations of injustice,
you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu

Nonviolence is the answer
to the crucial political
and moral questions of our time...
An individual who breaks a law
that conscience tells him is unjust,
and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment
in order to arouse the conscience
of the community over its injustice,
is in reality expressing
the highest respect for the law.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we must be aware of changes in the air--however slight--lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
~ Justice William O. Douglas

Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.
~ Frederick Douglass
