Translations of over 200 graffiti from the May 1968 revolt in France are
online at http://www.slip.net/~knabb/CF/graffiti.htm
A few examples:
Power to the imagination.
Be realistic, demand the impossible.
It's painful to submit to our bosses; it's even more stupid to choose them.
No forbidding allowed.
When examined, answer with questions.
The more I make love, the more I want to make revolution. The more I make
revolution, the more I want to make love.
Boredom is counterrevolutionary.
Run, comrade, the old world is behind you!
