I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
From Emma Goldman
The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.
All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.
Merely external emancipation has made of the modern woman an artificial being. Now, woman is confronted with the necessity of emancipating herself from emancipation, if she really desires to be free.
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
The most violent element in society is ignorance.
The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and well-being.
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.
Free love? as if love is anything but free. Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love.
The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul.
