20 Quotes by Curious George Brigade

The rejection of mass organizations as the be-all, end-all of organizing is vital for the creation and rediscovery of possibilities for empowerment and effective anarchistic work.

Anarchy has the flexibility to overcome many of the traditional problems of activism by focusing on revolution not as another cause but as a philosophy of living. This philosophy is as concrete as a brick being thrown through a window or flowers growing in the garden. By making our daily lives revolutionary, we destroy the artificial separation between activism and everyday life. Why settle for comrades and fellow activists when we can have friends and lovers?

We reject the blame game and accusations so common in efficient groups. With each person accepting full responsibility for their actions, no on can have any more of the blame than anyone else. Let's all be accountable to ourselves, so we can grow and learn from our mistakes and be buoyed by our successes.

Instead of worship or ignorance of the past, we must make our own tools, our own stories, and our own legends.

When faced with unbridled wildness of reality, dinosaurs fall into fevered delusions of grandeur.

Where there was once the incredibly complex diversity of nature, there is now the dead simplicity of asphalt and concrete.

No genuine revolutionary challenge to either the State or Capitalism in the United States can fail to ignore racism's importance in maintaining the current system.

Never confuse efficiency with effectiveness.

It's easier to ponder the future than it is to do something about the present.

We don't need unity in theory, we need solidarity in practice.
