More quotes by Emma Goldman
Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!

The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature.
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
Art is a part of the rebellion against the realities of its unfulfilled desire.
Emma Goldman
There's never been a good government.
Emma Goldman
Perhaps even more than constituted authority, it is social uniformity and sameness that harass the individual most. His very uniqueness, separateness and differentiation make him an alien, not only in his native place, but even in his own home. Often more so than the foreign born who generally falls in with the established.
Emma Goldman
Women need not always keep their mouths shut and their wombs open.
Emma Goldman
Real wealth consists in things of utility and beauty, in things that help to create strong, beautiful bodies and surroundings inspiring to live in.
Emma Goldman
Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian.
Emma Goldman
In the face of this approaching disaster, it behooves men and women not yet overcome by war madness to raise their voice of protest, to call the attention of the people to the crime and outrage which are about to be perpetrated on them.
Emma Goldman
The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.
Emma Goldman
