The Trial of the Chicago 7 - The Impact of Protest and Visibility
Tom Hayden:
Our. Our. Our blood. If our blood is going to flow...
Abbie Hoffman:
You meant to say, If our blood is gonna flow, then let it flow all over the city. You didn’t mean the cops! You were saying, If they’re gonna beat us up, everyone should see it.

Ramsey Clark:
I'm in private practice now, and if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will.

You have to find some... Sir, you have to find some courage now.
Ramsey Clark:
Find some courage? Yeah.
Tom Hayden:
Yes. You have to find some courage, and...
Leonard Weinglass: [silencing him]
Tom.
Ramsey Clark: [points at Kelly and Ackerman]
That's what those two men came to tell me, that if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will. So I wanted them in the room when I said When do you want me in court?
Howard Ackerman: [standing in surprise]
Mr. Clark?
William Kunstler:
I'm sorry?
Ramsey Clark:
Swear me in, Bill.
Howard Ackerman:
It is against the law for you to testify, Ramsey. It is as simple as that.

It's General Clark. And arrest me or shut the fuck up. Found some.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 - Confronting Authority and Identity in Conflict
Bobby Seale: [after being informed of Fred Hampton's murder]
You've all got the same father, right? Cut your hair, don't be a fag, respect authority, respect America - respect me. Your life, it's a fuck-you to your father, right? A little?
Tom Hayden:
Maybe.
Bobby Seale:
Maybe. And you can see how that's different from a rope on a tree?
Tom Hayden: [quietly]
Yeah.
Bobby Seale:
Yeah. He was shot in the shoulder first. You can't aim a gun if you've been shot in the shoulder, you can't squeeze the trigger. Second shot was in his head. Fred was executed. Anything else?
William Kunstler:
No.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 - Elections versus Principles in Activism Debate
Abbie Hoffman:
Winning elections, that's the first thing on your wish list? Equality, justice, education, poverty and progress, they're second?
Tom Hayden:

The Trial of the Chicago 7 - Debate Over Purpose in a High-Stakes Trial
Tom Hayden:
Are we using the trial to defend ourselves against very serious charges that could land us in prison for ten years, or to say a pointless "fuck you" to the establishment?

Tom Hayden:
That is what I was afraid... Wait, I don't know if you were saying "fuck you" or answering.
Abbie Hoffman:
...I was also confused.

Stephen Hawking:
I will write a book.
Jane Hawking:
About what?
Stephen Hawking:
Time.
Jane Hawking:
Time?
Stephen Hawking:
What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Some day these answers may seem as obvious to us as the Earth orbiting the sun, or perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises. Only time, that's what we say.

The Theory of Everything - Hope and Endeavor in a Boundless Universe
Stephen Hawking:
It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star, in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. BUT, ever since the dawn of civilization people have craved for an understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary? And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope.

Balem Abrasax:
I CREATE LIFE! And I destroy it. Life in an act of consumption, Jupiter. To live is to consume. Now, the human beings on your planet are merely a resource waiting to be converted into capital. And this entire enterprise is just a small part in a vast and beautiful machine defined by evolution, designed to a single purpose... To create profit.
