There is a time when the operation
of the machine becomes so odious---
makes you so sick at heart---
that you can't take part.
You can't even passively take part.
And you've got to put your bodies
upon the gears and upon the wheels,
upon the levers, upon all the apparatus,
and you've got to make it stop.
And you've got to indicate
to the people who run it,
to the people who own it,
that unless you're free,
the machine will be prevented
from working at all.
--Mario Savio
