There is nothing grand or noble in having the use of a slave, in so far as he is a slave; or in issuing commands about necessary things.

Vince Gilligan

It is the obligation of every person who claims to oppose oppression to resist the oppressor by every means at his or her disposal. Not to engage in physical resistance, armed resistance to oppression, is to serve the interests of the oppressor; no more, no less. There are no exceptions to the rule, no easy out.

Assata Shakur
