“..reading a book doesn’t mean just turning the pages. It means thinking about it, identifying parts that you want to go back to, asking how to place it in a broader context, pursuing the ideas. There’s no point in reading a book if you let it pass before your eyes and then forget about it ten minutes later. Reading a book is an intellectual exercise, which stimulates thought, questions, imagination.”
― Noam Chomsky, Occupy

“It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.”
― Lemony Snicket

“13. 99 percent is a very large percentage. For instance, easily 99 percent of people want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, and the occasional slice of cake for dessert. Surely an arrangement can be made with that niggling 1 percent who disagree.”
― Lemony Snicket

“It's not going to be easy to proceed. There are going to be barriers, difficulties, hardships, failures- it's inevitable. But unless the process that is taking place here and elsewhere in the country and around the world, unless that continues to grow and becomes a major force in the social and political world, the chances for a decent future are not very high.”
― Noam Chomsky, Occupy

“For there to be harmony and peace, everything must be balanced. And for there to be balance, there must be equality. And where there is equality, there will be justice. And where justice is honored and preserved, there will always be truth. Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water. Every human has a dream and desire to be happy. Every human responds to love, suffering and pain. Every human bleeds the same color and occupies the same world. Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.”

“People used to make money, but somewhere along the way, it started making us.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files

“Certainly–and we can all agree on this, whether we are atheists, theists, panentheists–the future is doing the calling. The unborn children, our great-great-grandchildren are doing the calling. A mere seventy-five years from now they're going to be saying, 'What did you do, Daddy, when the Earth was collapsing and when militarism was where you were putting so much of your money, and when empires were still the mode of the day, and when religions were at each other's throats and Christianity was collapsing? What did you do? How did you interfere and say no?”

“The density of your destiny is the product of the mass of your visions and the volume your impacts occupy!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

“We have to get over this notion, which many of us are taught early, that your soul is in your body. Because if your soul is in your body, it doesn't grow very much–your body is obviously limited in size. But if your soul's not in your body, but your body is in your soul, then your soul can grow as much as your heart and mind grow.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“There is much to be angry about in today's world, whether you are young or old, but certainly if you are young. Adultism reigns.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“The powerful do not understand hope. Hope is not part of their vocabulary. They speak in cold, dead words of national security, global markets, electoral strategy, staying on message, image and money...Those addicted to power, blinded by self-exaltation, cannot decipher the words of hope any more than most of us can decipher hieroglyphics.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“Many young activists tend to resist spirituality, thinking that religion has nothing to do with social change and is, in fact, part of the problem.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“That's why we live in a world that is so messed up, because most of us go along, simply because going along is connected to our paychecks.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“Again, it's about patterns––you see the pattern, for example, that a young person has moral outrage and is finding effective ways to express it. It's very important that the older generation sees this, feels it, and tastes it. Otherwise they become cynical old goats, and they die with regret. But if you can see that younger people are also tapping into visions analogous to those that you had in your twenties, that's very heartening. If you have something to teach them––which you probably do, especially if you carry some wounds yourself––then there's a mutual learning that goes on. It's not one-way by any stretch of the imagination. It's a beautiful thing.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“We believe that the movement, from Cairo to New York, from San Francisco to London, that is being called "Occupy" is a movement of spiritual democracy.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“Listen in close, Wall Street Conquistadors, you’re spreading like vapor up through people’s floors, you’re moving en masse under the cracks of our doors and grabbing our children to work in your stores, feeding the needy to make them your whores, but you need to remember the grave you’re digging is yours.”
― Trevor D. Richardson, Dystopia Boy: The Unauthorized Files

“Colonialism is the mother of terrorism.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“We believe that today's younger generation, who started a global movement by camping out on Wall Street and its equivalents around the world and who are often choosing a road less traveled rather than joining the military-industrial-academic-prision complex–these people are prophets in our midst.”
― Adam Bucko, Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation

“Do something. Successful achievers wake up in the morning and go to bed in the night. In between their waking up and going to bed is occupied with action, action, action and action.”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Shaping the dream

“If you really want succeed in what you do, obey this rule;... Wake up very early, go to bed lately... Occupy your time usefully!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Nobody is rewarded for occupying a position, but for becoming effective in the position occupied. If you occupy a position, you must have the weight of influence in order to matter!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Watchwords

“Never be anxious about maintaining the position you occupy. Be anxious about maintaining your good character and you will never lose your leadership influence!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Watchwords

“In recent years a smaller share of young adults has been employed than at any time since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking such trends in 1948. So it's not surprising that this generation of youthful protesters has a different focus for their grievances: the economy, stupid. But notice the targets they've chosen to demonize. It's all about class, not age. It's 1% versus 99%, not young versus old. Occupy Wall Street, not Occupy Leisure World.”
― Pew Research Center, The Next America: Boomers, Millennials, and the Looming Generational Showdown

“Take only actions that matter; some actions have weight but do not occupy space... some occupy space and also have weight! You matter; do what matters! Let your dreams count; DREAM BIG and be of VALUEâ€�!”
