Nature, philosophy and social issues are the three things that always occupy my mind. You do not have any power over others but can only change yourself.
If I do not respond to some situation, my conscience kills me. I believe in permissible violence, not necessarily non-violence.
Many will call me an adventurer and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
I don't care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
