They have the guns, we have the poets. Therefore, we will win.

They have the guns, we have the poets. Therefore, we will win.

Howard Zinn
Gun, Winning, Poet

There is a power that can be created out of pent-up indignation, courage, and the inspiration of a common cause, and that if enough people put their minds and bodies into that cause, they can win. It is a phenomenon recorded again and against in the history of popular movements against injustice all over the world.

If you join a fight for social justice you may win or lose, but just by being part of the struggle, you win, and your life will be better for it.

Howard Zinn
Struggle, Fighting, Winning

If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, occasionally to win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past's fugitive movements of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.

Howard Zinn
Believe, Winning, Past

I am totally confident not that the world will get better, but that we should not give up the game before all the cards have been played. The metaphor is deliberate; life is a gamble. Not to play is to foreclose any chance of winning. To play, to act, is to create at least a possibility of changing the world.
