Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion.

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

Anarchism stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion and liberation of the human body from the coercion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. It stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals.

I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.

Someone has said that it requires less mental effort to condemn than to think.

Heaven must be an awfully dull place if the poor in spirit live there.

Direct action is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism.
