More quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
For ten centuries Christianity, armed with the omnipotence of the Church and State and opposed by no competition, was able to deprave, debase, and falsify the mind of Europe. It had no competitors, because outside the Church there was neither thinkers nor educated persons. It alone taught, it alone spoke and wrote, it alone taught.
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
The star of revolution will rise high above the streets of Moscow, from a sea of blood and fire, and turn into a lodestar to lead a liberated humanity
Mikhail Bakunin
A person is strong only when he stands upon his own truth, when he speaks and acts from his deepest convictions.
Mikhail Bakunin
A divine falsehood is more powerful than any human truth.
Mikhail Bakunin
Anyone who makes plans for after the revolution is a reactionary.
Mikhail Bakunin
I bow before the authority of special men because it is imposed upon me by my own reason.
Mikhail Bakunin
The individual who dares commit a crime is guilty in a two-fold sense first, he is guilty against human conscience, and, above all, he is guilty against the State in arrogating to himself one of its most precious privileges.
Mikhail Bakunin
By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible.
Mikhail Bakunin
