Αν Όχι εμείς Ποιοί ; Αν Όχι Τώρα Πότε ;

αυτά και άλλα που εμφανίστηκαν στους Τοίχους του Παρισιού τον Mάϊο του 1968


Conflict is the origin of everything. (Heraclitus)

Meanwhile everyone wants to breathe and nobody can and many say, “We will breathe later.”

Boredom is counterrevolutionary.

Don’t beg for the right to live — take it.

The liberation of humanity is all or nothing.

Reform my ass.
The revolution is incredible because it’s really happening.

In any case, no regrets!

Live in the moment.

Let’s not change bosses, let’s change life.

Don’t liberate me — I’ll take care of that.
Warning: ambitious careerists may now be disguised as “progressives.”

This concerns everyone.

Concrete breeds apathy.

Conservatism is a synonym for rottenness and ugliness.

Hide yourself, object!

Happiness is a new idea.

Poetry is in the streets.

Art is dead, don’t consume its corpse.
Art is dead, let’s liberate our everyday life.
Art is dead, Godard can’t change that.

Anarchy is me.

Revolution, I love you.

I take my desires for reality because I believe in the reality of my desires.

Desiring reality is great! Realizing your desires is even better!

Be realistic, demand the impossible.
Power to the imagination.

Imagination is not a gift, it must be conquered. (Breton)
Action must not be a reaction, but a creation.
“You must bear a chaos inside you to give birth to a dancing star.” (Nietzsche)

Alcohol kills. Take LSD.
Unbutton your mind as often as your fly.

Arise, ye wretched of the university.
What if we burned the Sorbonne?
When examined, answer with questions.

Total orgasm.

Revolutionary women are more beautiful.

Make love, not war.
I participate. You participate. He participates. We participate. They profit.

Write everywhere.

Freedom is the right to silence.

Yell.
Create.
Look in front of you!!!
