More quotes by Emma Goldman
Pettiness separates breadth unites. Let us be broad and big.
Emma Goldman
Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.
Emma Goldman
The inhabitants of the other spots reason in like manner, of course, with the result that from early infancy the mind of the child is provided with blood-curdling stories about the Germans, the French, the Italians, Russians, etc.
Emma Goldman
As to a thorough eradication of prostitution, nothing can accomplish that save a complete transvaluation of all accepted values--especially the moral ones--coupled with the abolition of industrial slavery.
Emma Goldman
The most violent element in society is ignorance.
Emma Goldman
Crime is naught but misdirected energy.
Emma Goldman
John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?
Emma Goldman
I want freedom, the right to self-expression , everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things.
Emma Goldman
Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world, the mottos of which are: 'To take is more blessed than to give' 'buy cheap and sell dear' 'one soiled hand washes the other.
Emma Goldman
The State has no more existence than gods and devils have. They are equally the reflex and creation of man, for man, the individual, is the only reality. The State is but the shadow of man, the shadow of his opaqueness, of his ignorance and fear.
Emma Goldman
the function of militarism is to kill. It cannot live except through murder.
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
To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future.
Emma Goldman
If elections really changed anything, they would be outlawed.
Emma Goldman
religion and morality are a much better whip to keep people in submission than even the club and the gun.
Emma Goldman
statutory regulations, legislative enactments, constitutional provisions, are invasive. They never yet induced man to do anything he could and would not do by virtue of his intellect or temperament, nor prevented anything that man was impelled to do by the same dictates.
Emma Goldman
[Woman's] life-long economic parasitism has utterly blurred her conception of the meaning of equality.
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
Art is a part of the rebellion against the realities of its unfulfilled desire.
Emma Goldman
More pernicious than the power of a dictator is that of a class the most terrible - the tyranny of a majority.
Emma Goldman
