Saul D. Alinsky
“Curiosity and irreverence go together. Curiosity cannot exist without the other. Curiosity asks, "Is this true?" "Just because this has always been the way, is the best or right way of life, the best or right religion, political or economic value, morality?" To the questioner, nothing is sacred. He detests dogma, defies any finite definition of morality, rebels against any repression of a free, open search of ideas no matter where they may lead. He is challenging, insulting, agitating, discrediting. He stirs unrest.”
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals

“The human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice.”
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals

“The history of prevailing status quos shows decay and decadence infecting the opulent materialism of the Haves. The spiritual life of the Haves is a ritualistic justification of their possessions.”
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals

“I'm as proud of what we don't do as I am of what we do.”
Steve Jobs

Saul D. Alinsky
“To say that corrupt means corrupt the ends is to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles. The real arena is corrupt and bloody. Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears life.”
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals
