Accomplices Quote by Hakim Bey

“One may always attempt as much insight, love, freedom of thought and expression, justice and tolerance as possible for oneself and the very few people who share one's truest life. To be a 'free lord' in secret is better than being a public slave, a willing accomplice of repression and injustice.” quote by Hakim Bey — Download Open image
