Emma Goldman
religion and morality are a much better whip to keep people in submission than even the club and the gun.
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
How long would authority ... exist, if not for the willingness of the mass to become soldiers, policemen, jailers, and hangmen.
Emma Goldman
I believe - indeed, I know - that whatever is fine and beautiful in the human expresses and asserts itself in spite of government, and not because of it.
Emma Goldman
I do not believe in God, because I believe in man. Whatever his mistakes, man has for thousands of years been working to undo the botched job your god has made.
Emma Goldman
Patriotism is a menace to liberty.
Emma Goldman
