I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

The State is the curse of the individual... The State must go! That will be a revolution which will find me on its side. Undermine the idea of the State, set up in its place spontaneous action, and the idea that spiritual relationship is the only thing that makes for unity, and you will start the elements of a liberty which will be something worth possessing.

In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never.

I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.

It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.

...I'm no longer prepared to accept what people say and what's written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.

Almost everyone who has gone to the bad early in life has had a deceitful mother.
