I've seen things that used to be dreams.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.

RESISTENZA ULTRAS
Revolutionary Socialism
"Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many—they are few."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
"The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced." - Victor Hugo
"Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle." - Vladimir Lenin
"The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end." - Leon Trotsky
"Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement." - Leon Trotsky
"The communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involves the most radical rupture with traditional ideas." - Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
"The weapon of criticism cannot, of course, replace criticism of the weapon, material force must be overthrown by material force; but theory also becomes a material force as soon as it has gripped the masses. Theory is capable of gripping the masses as soon as it demonstrates ad hominem, and it demonstrates ad hominem as soon as it becomes radical. To be radical is to grasp the root of the matter." - Karl Marx
"A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution." - Vladimir Lenin
"We are marching in a compact group along a precipitous and difficult path, firmly holding each other by the hand. We are surrounded on all sides by enemies, and we have to advance almost constantly under their fire. We have combined, by a freely adopted decision, for the purpose of fighting the enemy, and not of retreating into the nearby marsh, the inhabitants of which, from the very outset, have reproached us with having chosen the path of struggle instead of the path of conciliation." - Vladimir Lenin
"The abolition of the rule of capital, the realization of a socialist social order - this, and nothing less, is the historical theme of the present revolution. It is a formidable undertaking, and one that will not be accomplished in the blink of an eye just by the issuing of a few decrees from above." - Rosa Luxemburg
History
"The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces - in nature, in society, in man himself." - Leon Trotsky
Religion, Mysticism, Superstition
"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem." - William Ockham
"Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand." - Karl Marx
"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is therefore in embryo the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo." - Karl Marx
"Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed." - Victor Hugo
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin
"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw
"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires." - Sigmund Freud
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Benjamin Franklin
"The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous. Is it, perchance, cherished by persons who should know better? Then their folly should be brought out into the light of day, and exhibited there in all its hideousness until they flee from it, hiding their heads in shame." - H.L. Mencken
"The scientist who yields anything to theology, however slight, is yielding to ignorance and false pretenses, and as certainly as if he granted that a horse-hair put into a bottle of water will turn into a snake. - H.L. Mencken
"Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion –- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven." - Mark Twain
"I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." - George Carlin
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." - Abraham Lincoln
Morality
"The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves." - Leon Trotsky
"Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness." - Immanuel Kant
"Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes." - Emily Dickinson
"A moral being is one who is capable of comparing his past and future actions or motives, and of approving or disapproving of them." - Charles Darwin
"It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare." - Mark Twain
"Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being." - Kahlil Gibran
Imperialist War
"Civil War? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?" - Victor Hugo
"No war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people." - Eugene Debs
"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." - George Orwell
"How can you make a war on terror if war itself is terrorism?" - Howard Zinn
"Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac." - George Orwell
"Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." - Albert Einstein
"I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land." - Mark Twain
"The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor." - George Orwell
"Historically, the most terrible things--war, genocide and slavery--have resulted from obedience, not disobedience." - Howard Zinn
"It is useless to attack men who could not be controlled even if conquered, while failure would leave us in an even worse position." - Thucydides
