Edward Abbey Quotes

Our Institutions Are Too Big; They Represent Not The Best But The Worst Characteristics Of Human Beings. By Submitting To Huge Hierarchies Of Power, We Gain Freedom From Personal Responsibility For What We Do And Are Forced To Do - The Seduction Of It - But We Lose The Dignity Of Being Real Men And Women. Power Corrupts; Attracts The Worst And Corrupts The Best ... Refuse To Participate In Evil; Insist On Taking Part In What Is Healthy, Generous, And Responsible. Stand Up, Speak Out, And When Necessary Fight Back. Get Down Off The Fence And Lend A Hand, Grab A-hold, Be A Citizen - Not A Subject.
