“Never let a crisis go to waste”
“The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns…. All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.”
“The most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired results.”
"They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"
"The despair is there; now it's up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radical social change."
