Quote

Political development should start at the grassroots.

From a little spark may burst a flame.

I'm still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change.

Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

There might be some serious fun in politics.

There's always some amount of gradual, slow burning destruction over the course of partying.

Globally the Greens have arisen like a spontaneous combustion, a reaction to the narrow-minded state-backed exploitation of resources and wealth for a few at the expense of the many.

I know politics is emotionally brutal; I've already had experience with the reality of smear campaigns, so I understand there will not be a path of roses laid before me.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
