More quotes by Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
We shall soon be obliged to meet in cellars, or in darkened rooms with closed doors, and speak in whispers lest our next door neighbors should hear that freeborn citizens dare not speak in the open.
Emma Goldman
The reward in heaven is the perpetual bait, a bait that has caught man in an iron net, a strait-jacket which does not let him expand or grow.
Emma Goldman
A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having.
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
There is no such thing as a good government. There never was. There can't be.
Emma Goldman
It is significant that whenever the public mind is to be diverted from great social wrong, a crusade is inaugurated against indecency.
Emma Goldman
To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future.
Emma Goldman
The government will ... go on in the highly democratic method of conscripting American manhood for European slaughter.
Emma Goldman
Direct action is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism.
Emma Goldman
The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land.
Emma Goldman
Crime is naught but misdirected energy.
Emma Goldman
Those who sit in a glass house do wrong to throw stones about them besides, the American glass house is rather thin, it will break easily, and the interior is anything but a gainly sight.
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
