Emma Goldman

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. ”

The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land. ”

Direct action is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism. ”

When we can't dream any longer we die. ”

Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world. ”

The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved. ”

No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... revolution is but thought carried into action. ”

In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home. ”

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. ”
