Quotations

“[T]thinking about Spain and how the anarchists entered the government, and all the things that beset the anarchists in Spain, and realizing how many people had been killed, had died—I just realized that change is not going to happen through violence. That was a very pivotal thing for me.” (Andrew Cornell, “A New Anarchism Emerges”; photo arivista.org)
