The privileged man, whether he be privileged politically or economically, is a man depraved in intellect and heart.

Intellectual slavery, of whatever nature it may be, will always have as a natural result both political and social slavery.

From the naturalistic point of view, all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.

Man is only truly free only among equally free men.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

We are materialists and atheists, and we glory in the fact.

Bourgeois patriotism, as I view it, is only a very shabby, very narrow, very mercenary, and deeply antihuman passion, having for its object the preservation and maintenance of the power of the national state-that is, the mainstay of all the priveleges of the exploiters throughout the nation.
