You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

..you just get stoned, get the ideas in your head and then do 'em. And don't bullshit. I mean that's the thing about doin' that guerrilla theatre. You be prepared to die to prove your point.

In this state, dig it, you get twenty years for sale of dope to a minor. You only get five to ten for manslaughter. So like, the thing is, if you're selling to a kid and cops come, shoot the kid real quick!

If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.

Structure is more important than content in the transmission of information.

The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.

Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps. A revolution in consciousness is an empty high without a revolution in the distribution of power. We are not interested in the greening of Amerika except for the grass that will cover its grave.
