protest

There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people for a purpose which is unattainable.
Howard Zinn, U.S. historian

It is never right to do wrong or to requite wrong with wrong, or when we suffer evil to defend ourselves by doing evil in return.
Socrates, 469 - 399 BC

The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent.
Charles Eliot Norton

He who dares not offend cannot be honest.
Thomas Paine

To change masters is not to be free.
Jose Marti y Perez
