I am writing a manifesto and there's nothing I want, and yet I'm saying certain things, and in principle I am against manifestos, as I am against principles.

Tristan Tzara
About This Quote

A manifesto is a statement of principles or beliefs. Most people think that they are good things to have, but in truth, manifestos are primarily used for political purposes. A manifesto is a powerful tool to convince the masses about your point of view. It can be used by people to express themselves and convince people of their beliefs.

However, it has no real power because it is just words on paper. The only real power comes from the people. Therefore, I would advise you not to read any manifesto unless it is written by someone you trust and who you know will never use it for manipulative purposes.
