"The great are great only because we are on our knees. Let us rise!..."

In the hands of a people whose education has been willfully neglected, the ballot is a cunning swindle benefitting only the united barons of industry, trade and property.
--Daniel Guérin

Workers and their families may starve to death in the New World Order of economic rationality, but diamond necklaces are cheaper in elegant New York shops, thanks to the miracle of the market.
--Noam Chomsky

When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

There is no "pure" Anarchism. There is only the application of Anarchist principles to the realities of social living. The aim of Anarchism is to stimulate forces that propel society in a libertarian direction.
--Sam Dolgoff, The Relevance of Anarchism to Modern Society

We are all still barbarians who resort to force and violence to settle our doubts, difficulties and troubles. Violence is the method of ignorance, the weapon of the weak. The strong of heart and brain need no violence, for they are irresistable in their consciousness of being right.
--Alexander Berkman

Individuality is not to be confused with the various ideas and concepts of Individualism; much less with that 'rugged individualism' which is only a masked attempt to repress and defeat the individual and his individuality. So-called Individualism is the social and economic laissez-faire: the exploitation of the masses by means of legal trickery, spiritual debasement and systematic indoctrination of the servile spirit.... That corrupt and perverse 'individualism' is the strait jacket of individuality. It has converted life into a degrading race for externals, for possession, for social prestige and supremacy. Its highest wisdom is 'the devil take the hindmost.'
--Emma Goldman

The political arena leaves one no alternatives, one must be either a dunce or a rogue.
--Emma Goldman

For every dollar the boss has and didn't work for, one of us worked for a dollar and didn't get it
.--Big Bill Haywood

Anarchists are opposed to violence; everyone knows that. The main plank of anarchism is the removal of violence from human relations. It is life based on freedom of the individual, without the intervention of the gendarme. For this reason we are the enemies of capitalism which depends on the protection of the gendarme to oblige workers to allow themselves to be exploited--or even to remain idle and go hungry when it is not in the interest of the bosses to exploit them. We are therefore enemies of the State which is the coercive violent organization of society.
--Errico Malatesta

It is often said that anarchists live in a world of dreams to come and do not see the things which happen today. We see them only too well, and in their true colors, and that is what makes us carry the hatchet into the forests of prejudices that beset us.
--Peter Kropotkin, Anarchism: Its Philosophy and Ideal

Slavery may change its form or its name--its essence remains the same. Its essence may be expressed in these words: to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on
someone else's work. In antiquity...slaves were, in all honesty, called slaves. In the Middle Ages, they took the name of serfs; nowadays, they are called wage earners.
--Mikhail Bakunin, Federalism, Socialism, Anti-Theologism

When people fear the government, there is tyranny. When government fears the people, there is liberty.
