Grace Lee Boggs Quotes

The only way to survive is by taking care of one another Picture Quote #1
I think we’re not looking sufficiently at what is happening at the grassroots in the country. We have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we have to make among ourselves in order to force the government to do differently. Things do not start with governments Picture Quote #1
A rebellion is something that is developing as an explosion coming out of the righteous grievances of a community of people Picture Quote #1
Don’t get stuck in old ideas. Keep recognizing that reality is changing and that your ideas have to change Picture Quote #1
This capitalist society has not lasted forever; it’s only a few hundred years old Picture Quote #1
We need to do what I call visionary organizing. Recognize that in every crisis, people do not respond like a school of fish. Some people become immobilized. Some people become very angry, some commit suicide, and other people begin to find solutions. And visionary organizers look at those people, recognize them and encourage them, and they become leaders of the future Picture Quote #1

We never know how our small activities will affect others through the invisible fabric of our connectedness. In this exquisitely connected world, it’s never a question of ‘critical mass.’ It’s always about critical connections Picture Quote #1
We urgently need to bring to our communities the limitless capacity to love, serve, and create for and with each other. We urgently need to bring the neighbor back into our hoods, not only in our inner cities but also in our suburbs, our gated communities, on Main Street and Wall Street, and on Ivy League campuses Picture Quote #1
How are we going to make our livings in a society becoming increasingly jobless because of hi-tech and outsourcing? Where will we get the imagination to recognize that for most of human history the concept of Jobs didn’t even exist? Work, as distinguished from Labor, was done to produce needed goods and services, develop skills and artistry, and nurture cooperation Picture Quote #1
What time is it on the clock of the world? Picture Quote #1
Building community is to the collective as spiritual practice is to the individual Picture Quote #1
The most radical thing I ever did was to stay put Picture Quote #1

We urgently need a paradigm shift in our concept of the purposes and practices of education. We need to leave behind the concept of education as a passport to more money and higher status in the future and replace it with a concept of education as an ongoing process that enlists the tremendous energies and creativity of schoolchildren in rebuilding and respiriting our communities and our cities now, in the present Picture Quote #1
Really, people are not a school of fish. Finding the leaders of the future is a question of recognizing those people who give leadership in a crisis Picture Quote #1
It takes time for change to take place. But then when huge changes are taking place, they are extraordinary. And it requires a kind of philosophical thinking, thinking in terms of epochs Picture Quote #1
We’re at a great transition point in terms of population, demographics, and what it means to be a human being Picture Quote #1
We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously Picture Quote #1
You cannot change any society unless you take responsibility for it, unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it Picture Quote #1

A revolution that is based on the people exercising their creativity in the midst of devastation is one of the great historical contributions of humankind Picture Quote #1
Talk and write in a way that encourages the mutual exchange of ideas and acts like a midwife to people birthing their own ideas Picture Quote #1
Love isn’t about what we did yesterday; it’s about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after Picture Quote #1
Don’t get stuck in old ideas. Keep recognizing that reality is changing and that your ideas have to change Picture Quote #1
You don’t choose the times you live in, but you do choose who you want to be. And you do choose how you think Picture Quote #1
I think we’re not looking sufficiently at what is happening at the grassroots in the country. We have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we have to make among ourselves in order to force the government to do differently. Things do not start with governments Picture Quote #1

People are aware that they cannot continue in the same old way but are immobilized because they cannot imagine an alternative. We need a vision that recognizes that we are at one of the great turning points in human history when the survival of our planet and the restoration of our humanity require a great sea change in our ecological, economic, political, and spiritual values Picture Quote #1
The struggle we’re dealing with these days, which, I think, is part of what the 60s represented, is how do we define our humanity? Picture Quote #1
