"A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny."--Alexander Solzenhitsyn

"Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral."--Paulo Freire
 
"A final victory is an accumulation of many short-term encounters. To lightly dismiss a success because it does not usher in a complete order of justice is to fail to comprehend the process of achieving full victory. It underestimates the value of confrontation and dissolves the confidence born of a partial victory by which new efforts are powered."--Martin Luther King, Jr.
