More From Eric Hoffer

What's more important is that we talk about movements; change happens through movements. the movement to end slavery, the movement to bring justice for those who have been left out of the system, movements to include women, movements around sexual preference - all these movements brought about change.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. hunger is a weapon of mass destruction. poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction. poor education is a weapon of mass destruction. discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction. let us abolish such weapons of mass destruction here at home.

That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: that until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; that until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.

Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction. we must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods.

The second world war had a precipitating effect in that it discredited the empires, as well as bankrupting them. not only could you no longer, if you were a colonial subject of france in africa, look to france as a model of power and influence and civility after what had happened in the war. nor could the french any longer afford to run their empire. and nor could the british, although they were not discredited in the way that the french were.

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned... everything is war. me say war. that until the're no longer 1st class and 2nd class citizens of any nation... until the color of a man's skin is of no more significa...nce than the color of his eyes, me say war. that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race me say war!

A man becomes a philosopher by reason of a certain perplexity, from which he seeks to free himself.

People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic, among them influential political leaders and businessmen as well as go-getters and hustlers of smaller caliber, tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. according to this philosophy, the basic law by which man must live, in spite of his surface veneer of civilization, is the law of the jungle. the "fittest" are those who can bring to the struggle superior force, superior cunning, and superior ruthlessness.
