Throw a theory into the fire it only spoils life.
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
Image
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Revolution requires extensive and widespread destruction, a fecund and renovating destruction, since in this way and only this way are new worlds born

Mikhail Bakunin
Image
A divine falsehood is more powerful than any human truth.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
A jealous lover of human liberty, deeming it the absolute condition of all that we admire and respect in humanity, I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that, if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
A person is strong only when he stands upon his own truth, when he speaks and acts from his deepest convictions.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
The privilege of ruling would be in the hands of the skilled and the learned, with a wide scope left for profitable crooked deals carried on by the Jews, who would be attracted by the enormous extension of the international speculations of the national banks.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
We are materialists and atheists, and we glory in the fact.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
[Jehovah is] certainly the most jealous, the most vain, the most ferocious, the most unjust, the most bloodthirsty, the most despotic, and the most hostile to human dignity and liberty.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.
