More quotes by Max Stirner

Image
Where the world comes in my way - and it comes in my way everywhere - I consume it to quiet the hunger of my egoism. For me you are nothing but - my food, even as I too am fed upon and turned to use by you. We have only one relation to each other, that of usableness, of utility, of use.
Max Stirner
Image
Yes, yes, children must early be made to practise piety, godliness, and propriety a person of good breeding is one into whom good maxims have been instilled and impressed, poured in through a funnel, thrashed in and preached in.
Max Stirner
Image
If man puts his honor first in relying upon himself, knowing himself and applying himself, this in self-reliance, self-assertion, and freedom, he then strives to rid himself of the ignorance which makes a strange impenetrable object a barrier and a hindrance to his self-knowledge.
Max Stirner
Image
If the child has not an object that it can occupy itself with, it feels ennui for it does not yet know how to occupy itself with itself.
Max Stirner
Image
Now why, if freedom is striven after for love of the I after all - why not choose the I himself as beginning, middle, and end?

Max Stirner
Image
Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.
Max Stirner
Image
He who is infatuated with Man leaves persons out of account so far as that infatuation extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. Man, you see, is not a person, but an ideal, a spook.
Max Stirner
Image
Man has not really vanquished Shamanism and its spooks till he possesses the strength to lay aside not only the belief in ghosts or in spirits, but also the belief in the spirit.
Max Stirner
Image
Only the free and personal man is a good citizen (realist), and even with the lack of particular (scholarly, artistic, etc)culture, a tasteful judge (humanist).
Max Stirner
Image
He who must expend his life to prolong life cannot enjoy it, and he who is still seeking for his life does not have it and can as little enjoy it.
Max Stirner
Image
What I have in my power, that is my own. So long as I assert myself as holder, I am the proprietor of the thing.
Max Stirner
Image
People is the name of the body, State of the spirit, of that ruling person that has hitherto suppressed me.
Max Stirner
Image
When one is anxious only to live, he easily, in this solicitude, forgets the enjoyment of life. If his only concern is for life, and he thinks if I only have my dear life, he does not apply his full strength to using, i. e., enjoying, life.
Max Stirner
Image
God sinks into dust before man.
Max Stirner
Image
Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property.
Max Stirner
Image
A race of altruists is necessarily a race of slaves. A race of free men is necessarily a race of egoists.
Max Stirner
Image
We do not aspire to communal life but to a life apart.

The people is dead! Good-day, Self!
