Mankind has been punished long and heavily for having created its gods; nothing but pain and persecution have been man's lot since gods began.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Perhaps even more than consti...

Perhaps even more than constituted authority, it is social uniformity and sameness that harass the individual most. His very "uniqueness," "separateness" and "differentiation" make him an alien, not only in his native place, but even in his own home. Often more so than the foreign born who generally falls in with the established.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The God idea is growing more ...

The God idea is growing more impersonal and nebulous in proportion as the human mind is learning to understand natural phenomena and in the degree that science progressively correlates human and social events.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The philosophy of Atheism has...

The philosophy of Atheism has its root in the earth, in this life; its aim is the emancipation of the human race from all God-heads, be they Judaic, Christian, Mohammedan, Buddhistic, Brahmanistic, or what not. Mankind has been punished long and heavily for having created its gods, nothing but pain and persecution, have been man's lot since gods began. There is but one way out of this blunder. Man must break his fetters which have chained him to the gates of heaven and hell, so that he can begin to fashion out of his reawakened and illumined consciousness a new world upon the earth.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

ANARCHISM:The philosophy of a...

ANARCHISM:The philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Anarchism aims to strip labor...

Anarchism aims to strip labor of its deadening, dulling aspect, of its gloom and compulsion. It aims to make work an instrument of joy, of strength, of color, of real harmony, so that the poorest sort of a man should find in work both recreation and hope.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Revolution is but thought carried into action.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Public school - where the hum...

Public school - where the human mind is drilled and manipulated into submission to various social and moral spooks, and thus fitted to continue our system of exploitation and oppression.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

They do not want to know that...

They do not want to know that centralization is not only the death-knell of liberty, but also of health and beauty, of art and science, all these being impossible in a clock-like, mechanical atmosphere.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Direct action against the aut...

Direct action against the authority in the shop, direct action against the authority of the law, direct action against the invasive, meddlesome authority of our moral code, is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism. Will it not lead to a revolution? Indeed, it will. No real social change has ever come without a revolution. People are either not familiar with their history, or they have not yet learned that revolution is but thought carried into action.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

It cannot be sufficiently emp...

It cannot be sufficiently emphasized that revolution is in vain unless inspired by its ultimate ideal. Revolutionary methods must be in tune with revolutionary aims.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

No great idea in its beginnin...

No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law?

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Poor human nature, what horri...

Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name! Every fool, from king to policeman, from the flatheaded parson to the visionless dabbler in science, presumes to speak authoritatively of human nature. The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

A politician, he knows that t...

A politician, he knows that the majority cares little for ideals or integrity. What it craves is display.

Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

statutory regulations, legisl...

statutory regulations, legislative enactments, constitutional provisions, are invasive. They never yet induced man to do anything he could and would not do by virtue of his intellect or temperament, nor prevented anything that man was impelled to do by the same dictates.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Today is the parent of tomorrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future. That is the law of life, individual and social. Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society. The means used to prepare the future become its cornerstone.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

True emancipation begins neit...

True emancipation begins neither at the polls nor in the courts. It begins in woman's soul.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The reward in heaven is the perpetual bait, a bait that has caught man in an iron net, a strait-jacket which does not let him expand or grow.

To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future.
