Abhaidev
“Revolutions are the things of the past. The current generation believes we get one life, and we should enjoy and live it to the fullest. That’s why they don’t know what sacrifice means.

“By nature, parties must also have a position on just about everything, while movements need not because they have no pretensions to governing.”
Susan George, Another World Is Possible, If...

“a wave of spray from the ocean feels powerful, but it is only there for a moment, the sun dries the puddles and the water is gone. then you feel maybe it never happened. that is how it was with is. the only wave that changes anything is a tsunami. you have to tear down the houses and destroy the land if you want to be sure no one will forget you.”

Marvin Cheung
“Movements are not merely an aggregation of individuals, but rather the outcome of a complex process of negotiation between individual and collective identities, contradictory pressures, as well as changing environments. They signal a transformation in the logic and processes that guide society, give shape to an emerging force, and challenge the legitimacy of power.”
