"Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart."

"there is no obvious alternative... the last thirty years have seen the construction of a vast bureaucratic apparatus for the creation and maintenance of hopelessness... to destroy any sense of possible alternative futures.

"What is debt, after all, but imaginary money whose value can only be realized in the future: future profits, the proceeds of the exploitation of workers not yet born... For at least five thousand years, popular movements have tended to center on struggles over debt"

"Much of the reason the movement was thrown into confusion was because none of us had really considered we might win."

"We are clearly at the verge of another mass resurgence of the popular imagination. It shouldn't be that difficult. Most of the elements are already there."

"A debt after all is only that: a promise"
