Life Is An Adventure Of Passion, Risk,

Men Don't Like To Step Abruptly Out Of The Security Of Familiar Experience; They Need A Bridge To Cross From Their Own Experience To A New Way. A Revolutionary Organizer Must Shake Up The Prevailing Patterns Of Their Lives - Agitate, Create Disenchantment And Discontent With The Current Values, To Produce, If Not A Passion For Change, At Least A Passive, Affirmative, Non-challenging Climate.

Life Is A Corrupting Process From The Time A Child Learns To Play His Mother Off Against His Father In The Politics Of When To Go To Bed; He Who Fears Corruption Fears Life.

Love And Faith Are Not Common Companions. More Commonly Power And Fear Consort With Faith....power Is Not To Be Crossed; One Must Respect And Obey. Power Means Strength, Whereas Love Is A Human Frailty The People Mistrust. It Is A Sad Fact Of Life That Power And Fear Are The Fountainheads Of Faith.

The Organizers First Job Is To Create The Issues Or Problems, And Organizations Must Be Based On Many Issues. The Organizer Must First Rub Raw The Resentments Of The People Of The Community; Fan The Latent Hostilities Of Many Of The People To The Point Of Overt Expression. He Must Search Out Controversy And Issues, Rather Than Avoid Them, For Unless There Is Controversy People Are Not Concerned Enough To Act. . . . An Organizer Must Stir Up Dissatisfaction And Discontent.

Change Means Movement. Movement Means Friction.
