More quotes by Max Stirner
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
The people is dead! Good-day, Self!
Max Stirner
Thus the radii of all education run together into one center which is called personality.
Max Stirner
The habit of the religious way of thinking has biased our mind so grievously that we are - terrified at ourselves in our nakedness and naturalness it has degraded us so that we deem ourselves depraved by nature, born devils.
Max Stirner
If it is right for me, it is right. It is possible that it is wrong for others: let them take care of themselves!
Max Stirner
People is the name of the body, State of the spirit, of that ruling person that has hitherto suppressed me.
Max Stirner
No knowledge, however thorough and extensive, no brilliance and perspicuity, no dialectic sophistication, will preserve us from the commmonness of thought and will. It is truly not the merit of the school if we do not come out selfish.
Max Stirner
Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property.
Max Stirner
Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.
Max Stirner
God sinks into dust before man.
Max Stirner
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
The moral man is necessarily narrow in that he knows no other enemy than the immoral man. He who is not moral is immoral! and accordingly reprobate, despicable, etc. Therefore, the moral man can never comprehend the egoist.
Max Stirner
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
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
Max Stirner
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
We do not aspire to communal life but to a life apart.
Max Stirner
Apart from any other basis which might justify a superiority, education, as a power, raised him who possessed it over the weak, who lacked it, and the educated man counted in his circle, however large or small it was, as the mighty, the powerful, the imposing one: for he was an authority.
Max Stirner
Religion itself is without genius. There is no religious genius and no one would be permitted to distinguish between the talented and the untalented in religion.
Max Stirner
Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter.
Max Stirner
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
