After the revolution, it might very well remain necessary to place people where they could not do harm to others. But the one under restraint should be cut off from the rest of society as little as possible.

After the revolution, let us hope, prisons simply would not exist - if by prisons we mean places that could be experienced by the men and women in them at all as every place that goes by that name now is bound to be experienced.

All prisons that have existed in our society to date put people away as no human being should ever be put away.

People who attack others need rationalizations for doing so. We undermine those rationalizations.

What you lose in blindness is the space around you, the place where you are, and without that you might not exist. You could be nowhere at all.

Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.
