Translations of over 200 graffiti from the May 1968 revolt in France are
online at http://www.bopsecrets.org/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!
