"What is property?  Property is theft."

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon 1840
 
"Whoever appeals to power and to capital for the organization of labour is
 lying, because the organization of labour must be the overthrow of capital
 and power."
		
		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"The greatest obstacle which equality has to overcome is not the aristocratic
 pride of the rich, but rather the undisciplined egoism of the poor."

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"Free association, liberty, limited to maintaining equality in the means of
 production and equivalence in exchange, is the only possible form of society,
 the only just and the only true one.  Politics is the science of freedom; the
 government of man by man under whatever name it is disguised, is oppression:
 the high perfection of society consists in the union of order and anarchy."

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"I voted against the Constitution, not because it contains things of which I
 disapprove and does not contain things of which I approve.  I voted against
 the Constitution because it is a Constitution." (speaking of the French
 Constitution)

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed,
 legislated at, regulated, docketed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled,
 assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither the right
 nor the knowledge nor the virtue.  To be governed means to be, at each
 operation, at each transaction, at each movement, noted, registered,
 controlled, taxed, stamped, measured, valued, assessed, patented, licensed,
 authorized, endorsed, admonished, hampered, reformed, r.  It is to be, on the
 pretext of the general interest, taxed, drilled, held to ransom, exploited,
 monopolized, extorted, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then at the least resistance,
 at the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, abused, annoyed,
 followed, bullied, beaten, disarmed, garotted, imprisoned, machine-gunned,
 judged, condemned, deported, flayed, sold, betrayed and finally mocked,
 ridiculed, insultted, dishonoured.  That's government, that's its justice,
 that's it's morality!"

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"The political system can be defined as follows: A compact democracy founded in
 appearance on the dictatorship of the masses, but in which the masses only have
 so much power as is needed to secure universal servitude."

		-Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"The perfect society has no government, but only an administration, no laws only
 obligations, no punishments only means of correction."

		-Wilhelm Wietling 1845

"Let us arise, let us arise against the oppressors of humanity; all kings,
 emperors, presidents of republics, priests of all religions are the true
 enemies of the poeple; let us destroy along with them all juridical, political,
 civil and religious institutions."

		-Manifesto of anarchists in the Romagna, 1878

"The policeman arrested me in the name of the law; I hit him in the name of
 liberty."

		-Clement Duval 1886 (when arrested for burglary)

"I am fifty years old and I have always lived in freedom; let me end my
 life free; when I am dead let this be said of me: 'He belonged to no school,
 to no church, to no institution, to no academy, least of all to any regime
 except the regime of liberty.'"

		-Gustave Courbet

"Terrorism is always a method of government."

		-Prince Peter Alexeivitch Kropotkin

"The divine is God's affair; the human the affair of 'humanity'.  My business is
 neither the divine nor the human, it is not what is True, Good, Right, Free,
 etc., but only what is mine, and it is not something general but is individual
 as I am individual.  For me nothing is higher than myself."

		-Max Stirner 1845

"I have in mind the only liberty worthy of that name, liberty consisting in the
 full development of all the material, intellectual and moral powers latent in
 every man; a liberty which does not recognize any other restrictions but those
 which are traced by the laws of our nature, which, properly speaking, is
 tantamount to saying that there are no restrictions at all, since these laws
 are not imposed upon us by some outside legislator standing above us or
 alongside us.  These laws are immanent, inherent in us; they constitute the
 very basis of our being, material as well as intellectual and moral; and
 instead of finding in them a limit to our liberty we should regard them as its
 effective reason."

		-Mikhail Bakunin

"Even when it commands the good, it makes this valueless by commanding it; for
 every command slaps liberty in the face; as soon as this good is commanded, it
 is transformed into an evil in the eyes of true (that is, human, by no means
 divine) morality, of the dignity of man, of liberty..."

  		-Mikhail Bakunin (concerning the state)
