"Let us go on outdoing ourselves; a revolutionary man always transcends himself or otherwise he is not a revolutionary man, so we always do what we ask of ourselves or more than what we know we can do."
""The task is to transform society; only the people can do that -- not heroes, not clebrities, not stars."
The terrible thing about hell

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp."
