If God existed, only in one way could he serve the cause of human liberty-by ceasing to exist.

Whoever says State necessarily says domination, and, consequently, slavery; a State without slavery, open or concealed, is inconceivable: that is why we are enemies of the State.

Does man's freedom consist in revolting against all laws? We say no, in so far as laws are natural, economic, and social laws, not authoritatively imposed but inherent in things, in relations, in situations, the natural development of which is expressed by those laws. We say YES if they are political and juridical laws, imposed upon men by men.

By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible.

If you took the most ardent revolutionary, vested him in absolute power, within a year he would be worse than the Tsar himself.
