It is penance to work, to give oneself to others, to endure the pinpricks of community living.

It is people who are important, not the masses.

The anarchist philosophy is that the new social order is to be built up by groupings of men together in communities - whether in communities of work or communities of culture or communities of artists - but in communities.

When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

If I did not believe, if I did not make what is called an act of faith (and each act of faith increases our faith, and our capacity for faith), if I did not have faith that the works of mercy do lighten the sum total of suffering in the world, so that those who are suffering on both sides of this ghastly struggle somehow mysteriously find their pain lifted and some balm of consolation poured on their wounds, if I did not believe these things, the problem of evil would indeed be overwhelming.

Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
