is fruitless. One can cage the singer but not the song.

You can cage the singer but not the song. - Harry Belafonte, in International Herald Tribune, 1988 October 3rd

As a matter of fact, compromise is what oppression feeds on.

is off the table when confronting repression head on.

Do not submit. It is extremely critical that repression be met full head-on and that it be resisted with every fiber in our being. There is just absolutely no compromise that can be made with it.

is that without which repression would be defeated, for just as some cancers feed on hormones, compromise acts as the hormone of oppression.

Without compromise repression would be defeated. Just as some cancers feed on hormones, compromise becomes the hormone of oppression.

is not capable of being imprisoned. One can cage the singer, but not the song.

You can cage the singer, but not the song.
