Testimonials

Charlotte Ryan, ‘Rhyming Hope and History’ 2005

Individuals may be silently or vocally disenchanted with their reality, many complain to friends and co-workers. They dream of other possibilities but can enter the political process proactively only when they form a collective actor; an organisation sharing values, mission and strategies. Without an organisation, individual impact on political discourse is limited.

Martin Luther King Jr

Martin Luther King Jr. ‘Where do we go from here?’

Education without social action is a one-sided value because it has no true power potential. Social action with education is a weak expression of pure energy. Deeds uninformed by educated thought can take false directions. When we go into action and confront our adversaries, we must be armed with knowledge as they. Our policies should have the strength of deep analysis beneath them to challenge the clever sophistries of our opponents.

Srdja Popovic, ‘Bringing Down a Dictator’

I think we succeeded because we simply loved life more than them. Generally, those guys were the preachers of the death. Their hatred, their propaganda, you know, their language smelled like death. And we won because we loved life more. We decided to love life and you't beat a life. So this is what Otpor did. We were a group of fans of life. And this is why we succeeded.

Noam Chomsky

If you go to one demonstration and then go home, that's something. But the people in power can live with that. What they can't live with is sustained pressure that keeps building, organisations that keep doing things, people that keep learning lessons from last time and doing it better the next time.
