“Why is it that nobody cries out, nobody spits in their faces, nobody jumps at their throats? We doff our caps to the S.S. men returning from the little wood; if our name is called out we obediently go with them to die, and we do nothing. We starve, we are drenched by rain, we are torn from our families. What is this mystery? This strange power of one man over another? This insane passivity that cannot be overcome? Our only strength is our great number; the gas chambers cannot accommodate all of us.” IfsMenLittlesFacesDiesNamesNumbersMysteryCryStrangeRainOvercomingWoodsInsaneOur FamilyGasOne ManThroatTornChamberCapsSpitAccommodatePassivityPower Of OneGas Chambers Author:Tadeusz Borowski

“Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail, and repeated victory will make it invincible.” IfsMenMayLongFightingWinningForceNumbersHalfEnemyVictoryOvercomingArmySurpriseDetailsHeavyStrikesPursuitDestroyedCrushPanicOddsTacticsPursuedMisleadInvincibleHaving Strength Author:Stonewall Jackson

“I don't claim to know a lot about Mexico, but I did talk to quite a number of left Mexican intelectuals, and they all said the same thing. That there's a lot of popular, kind of, concern and activism, but it is very fragmented. That the groups have very specific, narrow agendas and they don't interact and cooperate with one another. Ok, that's something you have to overcome to build a mass popular movement.
