Emma Goldman
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Emma Goldman

Often more so than the foreign born who generally falls in with the established.
Emma Goldman
A politician, he knows that the majority cares little for ideals or integrity. What it craves is display.
Emma Goldman
In the true sense one's native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.
Emma Goldman

... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart,is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.
Emma Goldman
... resistance to tyranny is man's highest ideal.
Emma Goldman
Direct action is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism.
Emma Goldman
