Emma Goldman
Religion! How it dominates man's mind, how it humiliates and degrades his soul.

Emma Goldman
Salvation lies in an energetic march onward towards a brighter and clearer future.
Emma Goldman
Anarchism, the great leaven of thought, is today permeating every phase of human endeavor.... It is the philosophy of the sovereignty of the individual. It is the theory of social harmony. It is the great, surging, living truth that is reconstructing the world, and that will usher in the Dawn.
Emma Goldman
It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.
Emma Goldman
Perhaps even more than constituted authority, it is social uniformity and sameness that harass the individual most.
Emma Goldman
So-called Individualism is the social and economic laissez-faire: the exploitation of the masses by the classes by means of legal trickery, spiritual debasement and systematic indoctrination of the servile spirit, which process is known as 'education'.
Emma Goldman
If they do not give you work, demand bread. If they deny you both, take bread. It is your sacred right!
Emma Goldman
Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit.
Emma Goldman
