Religion, the dominion of the human mind; Property, the dominion of human needs; and Government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails.

Atheism in its negation of go...

Atheism in its negation of gods is at the same time the strongest affirmation of man, and through man, the eternal yea to life, purpose, and beauty.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Christianity is most admirably adapted to the training of slaves, to the perpetuation of a slave society.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The spirit of militarism has ...

The spirit of militarism has already permeated all walks of life. Indeed, I am convinced that militarism is a greater danger here than anywhere else, because of the many bribes capitalism holds out to those whom it wishes to destroy.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The soldier's business is to ...

The soldier's business is to take life. For that he is paid by the State, eulogized by political charlatans and upheld by public hysteria. But woman's function is to give life, yet neither the State nor politicians nor public opinion have ever made the slightest provision in return for the life woman has given.

... nothing satisfies the craving of most women so much as scandal.

Democracy must first be safe for America before it can be safe for the world.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Have not all theists painted ...

Have not all theists painted their Deity as the god of love and goodness? Yet after thousands of years of such preachments the gods remain deaf to the agony of the human race.

Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!

The strongest bulwark of authority is uniformity; the least divergence from it is the greatest crime.

"What would you do with the l...

"What would you do with the lazy ones, who would not work?" "No one is lazy. They grow hopeless from the misery of their present existence, and give up. Under our order of things, every man would do the work he liked, and would have as much as his neighbor, so could not be unhappy and discouraged."

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The average mind is easily co...

The average mind is easily content with inherited and acquired things, or with the dicta of parents and teachers, because it is much easier to imitate than to create.

After all, that is what laws are for, to be made and unmade.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Nora leaves her husband, not-...

Nora leaves her husband, not-as the stupid critic would have it-because she is tired of her responsibilities or feels the need of woman's rights, but because she has come to know that for eight years she had lived with a stranger and borne him children. Can there be anything more humiliating, more degrading than a life-long proximity between two strangers? No need for the woman to know anything of the man, save his income. As to the knowledge of the woman-what is there to know except that she has a pleasing appearance?

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

True, the movement for woman's rights has broken many old fetters, but it has also forged new ones.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Anarchism...stands for direct action, the open defiance of, and resistance to, all laws and restrictions, economic, social, and moral.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

... woman's narrow and purist...

... woman's narrow and purist attitude toward life makes her a greater danger to liberty wherever she has political power. Man haslong overcome the superstitions that still engulf women.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

The burden of all song and pr...

The burden of all song and praise "unto the Highest" has been that God stands for justice and mercy. Yet injustice among men is ever on the increase; the outrages committed against the masses in this country alone would seem enough to overflow the very heavens. But where are the gods to make an end to all these horrors, these wrongs, this inhumanity to man? No, not the gods, but MAN must rise in his mighty wrath. He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

To call the State an organism shows a diseased tendency to make a fetish of words.

Emma Goldman 342 quotes

Sure, nothing succeeds like success. Fact is, dearest, we are fools. We cling to an ideal no one wants or cares about. I am the greater fool of the two of us. I go on eating out my heart and poisoning every moment of my life in the attempt to rouse people's sensibilities. At least if I could do it with closed eyes. The irony is I see the futility of my efforts and yet I can't let go.
