More quotes by Max Stirner
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
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
God sinks into dust before man.
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
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
Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property.
Max Stirner
A race of altruists is necessarily a race of slaves. A race of free men is necessarily a race of egoists.
Max Stirner
Might is a fine thing, and useful for many purposes for one goes further with a handful of might than with a bagful of right.
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
Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter.
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
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
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
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
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
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
Max Stirner
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
Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.
Max Stirner
One is not worthy to have what one, through weakness, lets be taken from him one is not worthy of it because one is not capable of it.
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!
