It is not recognized in the f...

It is not recognized in the full amplitude of the word that all freedom is essentially self-liberation - that I can have only so much freedom as I procure for myself by my owness.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

For what reason then do the r...

For what reason then do the realists show themselves so unfriendly toward philosophy? Because they misunderstand their own calling and with all their might want to remain restricted instead of becoming unrestricted! Why do they hate abstractions? Because they themselves are abstract since they abstract from the perfection of themselves, from the elevation of redeeming truth!

Max Stirner 49 quotes

The State has always one purp...

The State has always one purpose: to limit, control, subordinate the individual and subject him to the general purpose Through its censorship, its supervision, and its police the State tries to obstruct all free activity and sees this repression as its duty, because the instinct of self-preservation demands it. The State does not permit me to use my thoughts to their full value and communicate them to other men unless they are its own Otherwise it shuts me up.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Might is a fine thing, and us...

Might is a fine thing, and useful for many purposes; for "one goes further with a handful of might than with a bagful of right."

Max Stirner 49 quotes

He who is infatuated with Man...

He who is infatuated with Man leaves persons out of account so far as that infatuation extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. Man, you see, is not a person, but an ideal, a spook.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Whoso is full of sacred (reli...

Whoso is full of sacred (religious, moral, humane) love loves only the spook, the "true man," and persecutes with dull mercilessness the individual, the real man.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

The truth wears longer than a...

The truth wears longer than all the gods; for it is only in the truth's service, and for love of it, that people have overthrown the gods and at last God himself. "The truth" outlasts the downfall of the world of gods, for it is the immortal soul of this transitory world of gods; it is Deity itself.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

The State practices "violence...

The State practices "violence," the individual must not do so. The state's behavior is violence, and it calls its violence "law"; that of the individual, "crime".

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Religion itself is without ge...

Religion itself is without genius. There is no religious genius and no one would be permitted to distinguish between the talented and the untalented in religion.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

The State calls its own viole...

The State calls its own violence, law; but that of the individual, crime.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

I say: liberate yourself as f...

I say: liberate yourself as far as you can, and you have done your part; for it is not given to every one to break through all limits, or, more expressively, not to everyone is that a limit which is a limit for the rest. Consequently, do not tire yourself with toiling at the limits of others; enough if you tear down yours. He who overturns one of his limits may have shown others the way and the means; the overturning of their limits remains their affair.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

One is not worthy to have wha...

One is not worthy to have what one, through weakness, lets be taken from him; one is not worthy of it because one is not capable of it.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

In crime the egoist has hithe...

In crime the egoist has hitherto asserted himself and mocked at the sacred; the break with the sacred, or rather of the sacred, may become general. A revolution never returns, but an immense, reckless, shameless, conscienceless, proud—crime, doesn't it rumble in the distant thunder, and don't you see how the sky grows ominously silent and gloomy?

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Before what is sacred, people...

Before what is sacred, people lose all sense of power and all confidence; they occupy a powerless and humble attitude toward it. And yet no thing is sacred of itself, but by my declaring it sacred, by my declaration, my judgment, my bending the knee; in short, by my conscience.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

The web of hypocrisy of today...

The web of hypocrisy of today hangs on the frontiers of two domains, between which our time swings back and forth, attaching its fine threads of deception and self-deception. No longer vigorous enough to serve morality without doubt or weakening, not yet reckless enough to live wholly to egoism, it trembles now toward the one and now toward the other in the spider-web of hypocrisy, and, crippled by the curse of halfness, catches only miserable, stupid flies.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

A race of altruists is necess...

A race of altruists is necessarily a race of slaves. A race of free men is necessarily a race of egoists.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

If it is right for me, it is ...

If it is right for me, it is right. It is possible that it is wrong for others: let them take care of themselves!

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Only the free and personal ma...

Only the free and personal man is a good citizen (realist), and even with the lack of particular (scholarly, artistic, etc)culture, a tasteful judge (humanist).

Max Stirner 49 quotes

If man puts his honor first in...

If man puts his honor first in relying upon himself, knowing himself and applying himself, this in self-reliance, self-assertion, and freedom, he then strives to rid himself of the ignorance which makes a strange impenetrable object a barrier and a hindrance to his self-knowledge.

Max Stirner 49 quotes

Feuerbach ... recognizes ... ...

Feuerbach ... recognizes ... 'even love, in itself the truest, most inward sentiment, becomes an obscure, illusory one through religiousness, since religious love loves man only for God's sake, therefore loves man only apparently, but in truth God only.' Is this different with moral love? Does it love the man, this man for this man's sake, or for morality's sake, for Man's sake, and so-for homo homini Deus-for God's sake?
