People who work get bored when they don’t work.
People who don’t work never get bored.
This concerns everyone.
The most beautiful sculpture is a paving stone thrown at a cop’s head.
I’m a Groucho Marxist.
Arise, ye wretched of the university.
The Old Mole of history seems to be splendidly undermining the Sorbonne.

SEX: It’s okay, says Mao, as long as you don’t do it too often.
I’m coming in the paving stones.
Yell.
Reform my ass.

All those grafitti prove once and for all that the May '68 revolt was mostly an anti-authoritarian revolt that surpassed all the leftist groups of the time, and i am not referring only to institutional leftism like that of the communist party but also to the various leftist factions like the maoists and the trotskyists.
In May'68 we can detect the beginning of the decline of all the various varieties of marxism.
