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
Image
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
Image
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
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.

Image
Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter.

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
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
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
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
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
Image
People is the name of the body, State of the spirit, of that ruling person that has hitherto suppressed me.
Max Stirner
Image
The people is dead! Good-day, Self!
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
The men of the future will yet fight their way to many a liberty that we do not even miss.
Max Stirner
Image
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.

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
Image
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
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.

We do not aspire to communal life but to a life apart.
