More quotes by Max Stirner
The people is dead! Good-day, Self!
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
We do not aspire to communal life but to a life apart.
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
Is not all the stupid chatter of most of our newspapers the babble of fools who suffer from the fixed idea of morality, legality, christianity and so forth, and only seem to go about free because the madhouse in which they walk takes in so broad a space?
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
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
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
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
What matters the party to me? I shall find enough anyhow who unite with me without swearing allegiance to my flag.
Max Stirner
Thus the radii of all education run together into one center which is called personality.
Max Stirner
The object of the state is always the same: to limit the individual, to tame him, to subordinate him, to subjugate him.
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
The divine is God's concern the human, man's. My concern is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is mine, and it is not a general one, but is -- unique, as I am unique. Nothing is more to me than myself!
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
People is the name of the body, State of the spirit, of that ruling person that has hitherto suppressed me.
Max Stirner
Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter.
Max Stirner
In crime the egoist has hitherto asserted himself and mocked at the sacred the break with the sacred, or rather of the sacred, may become general. A revolution never returns, but an immense, reckless, shameless, conscienceless, proud—crime, doesn't it rumble in the distant thunder, and don't you see how the sky grows ominously silent and gloomy?
Max Stirner
