"The other side ...has studied. They understand what we were up to in the 1960's. They understand what we wanted in the early 1970's...They create certain events, and they manipulate the economics, and they manipulate circumstances because they want us to react the same way that we did in the 1960's so that they can come in and they can smash our movements. We must become of a resistance consciousness. We must say that we will not allow you to smash us. Even if it means that we have to deal with the part of you that you have planted in me..."

Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him.

Toni: We can just call everyone and say we're terribly sorry but something came up and we have to leave town!

Toni: Shit. I forgot. Well, I guess we'll just have to go through with it, then.
