Howard Zinn
“And in such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus suggested, not to be on the side of the executioners.”
Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States: 1492 - Present

Daniel Immerwahr
“Where tyranny is law, revolution is order,” Albizu declared.”
Daniel Immerwahr, How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States

Howard Zinn
“If there are necessary sacrifices to be made for human progress, is it not essential to hold to the principle that those to be sacrificed must make the decision themselves? We can all decide to give up something of ours, but do we have the right to throw into the pyre the children of others, or even our own children, for a progress which is not nearly as clear or present as sickness or health, life or death?”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present

Howard Zinn
“Carl Degler says (Out of Our Past): “No new social class came to power through the door of the American revolution. The men who engineered the revolt were largely members of the colonial ruling class.” George Washington was the richest man in America. John Hancock was a prosperous Boston merchant. Benjamin Franklin was a wealthy printer. And so on.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States

Howard Zinn
“Tyranny is Tyranny let it come from whom it may.”
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present
