“It seems to me that the students are now half-awake enough to try and wake up their brother workers. If you don't pass on your own awareness then it closes down again.”

“An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.”
“Democrats are the only reason to vote for Republicans”
“The Republican nominee-to-be, of course, is also a young man. But his approach is as old as McKinley. His party is the party of the past. His speeches are generalities from Poor Richard's Almanac. Their platform, made up of left-over Democratic planks, has the courage of our old convictions. Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo-and today there can be no status quo.”
More on Awareness
“Humans are potentially capable of living in a state of consciousness compared to which normal wakefulness is like sleeping or dreaming.”
“Common sense invents and constructs no less than its own field than science does in its domain. It is, however, in the nature of common sense not to be aware of this situation.”
“... the young people are the ones who most quickly identify with the struggle and the necessity to eliminate the evil conditions that exist.”
