Emma Goldman
  • All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.

  • The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.

  • Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.

  • No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.

  • Anarchism is the great liberator of man from the phantoms that have held him captive it is the arbiter and pacifier of the two forces for individual and social harmony.
