following wmtc:

You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead


From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Karl Marx


There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.
Howard Zinn
