Emma Goldman
No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... revolution is but thought carried into action.
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
If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
Emma Goldman
Religion! How it dominates man's mind, how it humiliates and degrades his soul. God is everything, man is nothing, says religion.But out of that nothing God has created a kingdom so despotic, so tyrannical, so cruel, so terribly exacting that naught but gloom and tears and blood have ruled the world since gods began.
Emma Goldman
The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.
Emma Goldman
Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.
Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman
Always, at every period, the few were the banner bearers of a great idea, of liberating effort. Not so the mass, the leaden weight of which does not let it move.
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'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Emma Goldman
Crime is naught but misdirected energy.
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
Success achieved by the most contemptible means cannot but destroy the soul. ... It helps to cover up the inner corruption and gradually dulls one's scruples, so that those who begin with some high ambition cannot, even if they would, create anything out of themselves.
Emma Goldman
People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.
Emma Goldman
Art is a part of the rebellion against the realities of its unfulfilled desire.
Emma Goldman
What a strange development of patriotism that turns a thinking being into a loyal machine!
Emma Goldman
