More From Harvey Milk

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

If you do it first class and you don't compromise values, and you don't compromise quality, and you don't compromise service, and you don't compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.

Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization

San francisco can start right now to become number one. we can set examples so that others will follow. we can start overnight. we don't have to wait for budgets to be passed, surveys to be made, political wheelings and dealings ... for it takes no money ... it takes no compromising to give the people their rights. it takes no money to respect the individual. it takes no political deal to give people freedom. it takes no survey to remove repression.

As soon as the economic freedom which the market economy grants to its members is removed, all political liberties and bills of rights become humbug.

I was born at a very crucial time. i consider 1968 to be the mason dixon line between pre- and post-civil rights generation ideas, whereas a lot of people born before '68 they kind of went into that moses mentality. like, i'm not going to make it, you know, i don't have any hope.

The fundamental right of freedom of thought and expression is essential. if you curtail what the other fellow says and does, you curtail what you yourself may say and do.
