'to engage in direct action you have to feel enough passion to put your values into practice; it is literally embodying your feelings, performing your politics.
the body has been marginalised by our technocratic culture. this is dangerous: it further reveals a society completely out of touch with itself and its environment; a society which prefers to use the metaphor of the machine - hard, unconnected parts - rather than the body - interconnected, fluid and soft.
direct action makes visible the devastation of industrial culture's machinery and returns the body to the centre of politics, of cultural practice.'
