More quotes by 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
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
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
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
From the moment when he catches sight of the light of the world, a man seeks to find out himself and get hold of himself out of its confusion, in which he, with everything else, is tossed about in motley mixture.
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
The object of the state is always the same: to limit the individual, to tame him, to subordinate him, to subjugate him.
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
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
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
The men of the future will yet fight their way to many a liberty that we do not even miss.
Max Stirner
Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.
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
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
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
Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property.
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
Whoso is full of sacred (religious, moral, humane) love loves only the spook, the true man, and persecutes with dull mercilessness the individual, the real man.
Max Stirner
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
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
