resistance

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.

The first resistance to social change is to say it's not necessary.

The resistance, though it comes in many forms, begins with the mistaken belief that I am somehow separate from change, and that I can control it, rather than to align myself with change as it makes itself apparent, and ride it.

One single vision fills all minds: that of our independence endangered. One single duty imposes itself upon our wills: the duty of stubborn resistance.

I try to find hope in struggle and resistance in small places as much as I can.

Solidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.

What rights are those that dare not resist for them?

Protest is when I say I don't like this. Resistance is when I put an end to what I don't like. Protest is when I say I refuse to go along with this anymore. Resistance is when I make sure everybody else stops going along too.
