Abbie HoffmanThere is absolutely no greater high than challenging the power structure as a nobody, giving it your all, and winning!
About This Quote
When you are a nobody, you have to work harder than the people who are already in power. You have to work even harder than the people who are at the top of the ladder. And when you do work hard, it can sometimes feel like you are not getting anywhere. But the rewards of winning are so much greater than all of those struggles. Even if you don’t win, doing the right thing will make the world a better place for all of us.
