If the masses are not thrown a few novels, they may react by throwing up a few barricades  (Barricades Quotes) We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.  (Barricades Quotes) Part of the problem you have is that you don’t have a dialogue between elected officials and their constituents. They’ve built these barricades, these barriers around themselves and tried to avoid interaction with their constituents.  (Barricades Quotes) Out of abysses of Illiteracy, Through labyrinths of Lies, Across wastelands of Disease . . . We advance Out of dead-ends of Poverty, Through wilderness of Superstition, Across barricades of Jim Crowism . . . We advance.  (Barricades Quotes) During one performance of ‘Les Miserables,’ the barricade didn’t leave the stage, so we had to actually end up finishing the second act with the barricades on the stage, which was very strange... doing the love scene on the barricade  (Barricades Quotes) There weren’t a lot of people kind of manning the barricades in the sixties and looking up their genealogy  (Barricades Quotes) Socialism is simply Communism for people without the testosterone to man the barricades  (Barricades Quotes) Harold, the young kids out there are not going to be willing to go to the barricades in defense of lowered transaction costs  (Barricades Quotes) Americans are tired of the games and the lies of today’s media. They want the truth. Imagine this. No censors, no barricades, no statists. We will be able to engage viewers directly on subjects that matter most to them, from finances to civil liberties to foreign policy  (Barricades Quotes) What is politics, after all, but the compulsion to preside over property and make others people’s decisions for them? Liberty, the very opposite of ownership and control, cannot, then, result from political action, either at the polls or at the barricades, but rather evolves out of attitude. If it results from anything, it must be levity  (Barricades Quotes) Barricades of ideas are worth more than barricades of stones. There is no prow that can cut through a cloudbank of ideas. A powerful idea, waved before the world at the proper time, can stop a squadron of iron clad ships, like the mystical flag of the Last judgement  (Barricades Quotes) We pride ourselves on being the only species that understands the concept of risk, yet we have a confounding habit of worrying about mere possibilities while ignoring probabilities, building barricades against perceived dangers while leaving ourselves exposed to real ones  (Barricades Quotes) It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self  (Barricades Quotes) At a time when threats to the physical environment have never been greater, it may be tempting to believe that people need to be mounting the barricades rather than asking abstract questions about the human place in nature. Yet without confronting such questions, it will be hard to know which barricades to mount, and harder still to persuade large numbers of people to mount them with us. To protect the nature that is all around us, we must think long and hard about the nature we carry inside our heads  (Barricades Quotes) Resistance here doesn’t mean revolution. It doesn’t mean storming the barricades. Resistance means using art for the things that it does best, which is to create human portraits and communicate ideas and forge a climate where people of different races or classes are known to you because they make themselves known. In the simplest terms, art humanizes. It opens the circuit of empathy. And once that process happens, it’s that much harder to think of people as part of a policy or a statistic. Art reverses the alienation that can creep into society  (Barricades Quotes) I wouldn’t be satisfied with a life lived solely on the barricades. I reserve my right to be frivolous  (Barricades Quotes) I don’t know if real courage lies in storming barricades or simply not denying the truth  (Barricades Quotes) With society and its public, there is no longer any other language than that of bombs, barricades, and all that follows  (Barricades Quotes) And yet, and yet, these Christs that die upon the barricades, God knows it I am with them, in some ways  (Barricades Quotes)
