The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.<\/span>
\n Albert Camus<\/span><\/p>\n

I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike — and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two — are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.<\/span>
\n Harold Bloom<\/span><\/p>\n

We are for aiding our allies by sharing some of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107 We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a 2-million-dollar yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.<\/span>
\n Ronald Reagan<\/span><\/p>\n

The consistent anarchist should be a socialist, but a socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers, but he will also insist that this appropriation be direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the name of the proletariat. Some sort of council communism is the natural form of revolutionary socialism in an industrial society. It reflects the intuitive understanding that democracy is largely a sham when the industrial system is controlled by any form of autocratic elite, whether of owners, managers, and technocrats, a ”vanguard” party, or a State bureaucracy.<\/span>
\n Noam Chomsky<\/span><\/p>\n

A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business.<\/span>
\n Walter Bagehot<\/span><\/p>\n

When by chance I happen to read some poor writings of people who believe they are writers, just because they put some words together, I cannot but think our stupid world nothing more than a shit ball lost in the universe!<\/span>
\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

The deviant that does not observe the trivial uses of the language is a poet, a deviant who violates the banal customs of society is a criminal.<\/span>
\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

A murderer is nothing but an enzyme. In the end he does nothing but catalyze an inevitable process. As a good precursor, in fact, he anticipates it.<\/span>
\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

The poor should learn what has always been the motto of the rich: “What’s mine is mine and what is yours if I can I steal it.<\/span>
\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office a Republican wants.<\/span>
\n Alben W. Barkley<\/span><\/p>\n

A bureaucrat is a person who cuts red tape sideways.<\/span>
\n J. Mccabe<\/span><\/p>\n

The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eugene J. Mccarthy<\/span><\/p>\n

Bureaucracy, the rule of no one, has become the modern form of despotism.<\/span>
\n Mary Mccarthy<\/span><\/p>\n

The disease which inflicts bureaucracy and what they usually die from is routine.<\/span>
\n John Stuart Mill<\/span><\/p>\n

Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.<\/span>
\n P. J. O’Rourke<\/span><\/p>\n

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!<\/span>
\n Ronald Reagan<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy; God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won t.<\/span>
\n Hyman G. Rickover<\/span><\/p>\n

Bureaucracy is not an obstacle to democracy but an inevitable complement to it.<\/span>
\n Joseph A. Schumpeter<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Source Unknown<\/span><\/p>\n

There is something about a bureaucrat that does not like a poem.<\/span>

Reasonable orders are easy enough to obey; it is capricious, bureaucratic or plain idiotic demands that form the habit of discipline.<\/span>
\n Barbara Tuchman<\/span><\/p>\n

We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough as nails. There is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo… excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments.<\/span>
\n Thomas J. Peters<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 1960s we were fighting to be recognized as equals in the marketplace, in marriage, in education and on the playing field. It was a very exciting, rebellious time.<\/span>
\n Marlo Thomas<\/span><\/p>\n

In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.<\/span>

Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.<\/span>

The future will be the child of the past and the present, even if a rebellious child.<\/span>

We were the rebels of the music industry so we wanted to write a rebellious song.<\/span>

\n Brenda Lee<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.<\/span>

\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them.<\/span>
\n Samuel Adams<\/span><\/p>\n

The envied are like bureaucrats; the more impersonal they are, the greater the illusion (for themselves and for others) of their power.<\/span>
\n John Berger<\/span><\/p>\n

Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.<\/span>
\n Honore De Balzac<\/span><\/p>\n

The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

The difference between management and administration(which is what the bureaucrats used to do exclusively) is the difference between choice and rigidity.<\/span>
\n Robert Heller<\/span><\/p>\n

Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, ”What will you have, sir?” And I said, ”A glass of hemlock.”<\/span>
\n Ernest Hemingway<\/span><\/p>\n

There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.<\/span>
\n Elliot Richardson<\/span><\/p>\n

The man who will follow precedent, but never create one, is merely an obvious example of the routineer. You find him desperately numerous in the civil service, in the official bureaus. To him government is something given as unconditionally, as absolutely as ocean or hill. He goes on winding the tape that he finds. His imagination has rarely extricated itself from under the administrative machine to gain any sense of what a human, temporary contraption the whole affair is. What he thinks is the heavens above him is nothing but the roof.<\/span>
\n Walter Lippmann<\/span><\/p>\n

More and more, revolution has found itself delivered into the hands of its bureaucrats and doctrinaires on the one hand, and to the enfeebled and bewildered masses on the other.<\/span>
\n Albert Camus<\/span><\/p>\n

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.<\/span>
\n Franz Kafka<\/span><\/p>\n

The language of the younger generation has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.<\/span>
\n Elizabeth Hardwick<\/span><\/p>\n

Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element. Public life gradually falls asleep, a few dozen party leaders of inexhaustible energy and boundless experience direct and rule. Such conditions must inevitably cause a brutalization of public life: attempted assassinations, shootings of hostages, etc.<\/span>
\n Rosa Luxemburg<\/span><\/p>\n

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.<\/span>
\n Aldous Huxley<\/span><\/p>\n

Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.<\/span>

We hate those who will not take our advice, and despise them who do.<\/span>

\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbor to be governed, but he himself doesn’t want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

Englishmen hate Liberty and Equality too much to understand them. But every Englishman loves a pedigree.<\/span>

\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

No doubt it is easy to demostrate that property will destroy society unless society destroys it.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

What is really important in Man is the part of him that we do not understand. Of much of it we are not even conscious, just as we are not normally conscious of keeping up our circulation by our heart-pump, though if we neglect it we die.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

The politician who once had to learn how to flatter Kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.<\/span>

\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

Crime is only the retail department of what, in wholesale, we call penal law.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself.

People do no change with the times, they change the times.<\/span>
\n P.K. Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

We sing in a church, why can we not dance there?<\/span>

\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.<\/span>

\n Henry Wheeler Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.<\/span>

\n Katey Sagal<\/span><\/p>\n

Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.<\/span>

\n Kesha<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a bit of a rebellious nature.<\/span>

\n Paul Kantner<\/span><\/p>\n

I was rebellious.<\/span>
\n Adrian Grenier<\/span><\/p>\n

I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.<\/span>
\n Kevin Spacey<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Charles Baudelaire<\/span><\/p>\n

The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.<\/span>
\n Erich Fromm<\/span><\/p>\n

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.<\/span>
\n John Kenneth Galbraith<\/span><\/p>\n

A revolution does not last more than fifteen years, the period which coincides with the flourishing of a generation.<\/span>

True revolutionaries are like God — they create the world in their own image. Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.<\/span>
\n Barbara Grizzuti Harrison<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether a revolutions succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.<\/span>
\n Heinrich Heine<\/span><\/p>\n

The main effect of a real revolution is perhaps that it sweeps away those who do not know how to wish, and brings to the front men with insatiable appetites for action, power and all that the world has to offer.<\/span>
\n Eric Hoffer<\/span><\/p>\n

We used to think that revolutions are the cause of change. Actually it is the other way around: change prepares the ground for revolution.<\/span>
\n Eric Hoffer<\/span><\/p>\n

I was probably the only revolutionary referred to as cute.<\/span>
\n Abbie Hoffman<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolutions are not made by men in spectacles.<\/span>

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.<\/span>
\n Victor Hugo<\/span><\/p>\n

If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.<\/span>
\n Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt<\/span><\/p>\n

History teaches us that the great revolutions aren’t started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better — and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.<\/span>
\n Hubert H. Humphrey<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolutions are notorious for allowing even non-participants — even women! — new scope for telling the truth since they are themselves such massive moments of truth, moments of such massive participation.<\/span>
\n Selma James<\/span><\/p>\n

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.<\/span>
\n Franz Kafka<\/span><\/p>\n

\n John F. Kennedy<\/span><\/p>\n

Revolutions are not made for export.<\/span>
\n Nikita Khrushchev<\/span><\/p>\n
