Howard Zinn Quotes

War is by definition the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of people for ends that are uncertain. Think about means and ends, and apply it to war. The means are horrible, certainly. The ends, uncertain. That alone should make you hesitate... We are smart in so many ways. Surely, we should be able to understand that in between war and passivity, there are a thousand possibilities Picture Quote #1

When I say history is a matter of life and death, I mean this: If you really don’t know history, you are a victim of whatever the authorities tell you. You have no way of checking up on them. You have no way of deciding whether there is any truth in what they are saying Picture Quote #1

History is instructive. And what it suggests to people is that even if they do little things, if they walk on the picket line, if they join a vigil, if they write a letter to their local newspaper. Anything they do, however small, becomes part of a much, much larger sort of flow of energy. And when enough people do enough things, however small they are, then change takes place Picture Quote #1

But I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is... to tell the truth Picture Quote #1
