Peter Kropotkin
But what right had I to these highest joys, when all around me was nothing but misery and struggle for a moldy bit of bread when whatsoever I should spend to enable me to live in that world of higher emotions must needs be taken from the very mouths of those who grew the wheat and had not bread enough for their children?
Peter Kropotkin
As an anarchist, I cannot reconcile myself to any government.
Peter Kropotkin
It is often said that Anarchists live in a world of dreams to come, and do not see the things which happen today. We do see them only too well, and in their true colors, and that is what makes us carry the hatchet into the forest of prejudice that besets us.
Peter Kropotkin
War is the usual condition of Europe. A thirty years' supply of causes of war is always on hand.
Peter Kropotkin
Think about the world you want to live and work in. What do you need to know to build the world? Demand that your teachers teach you that.
Peter Kropotkin
You reason like the king, who, being sent across the frontier, called out, 'What will become of my poor subjects without me?'
Peter Kropotkin

Peter Kropotkin
Prisons are universities of crime, maintained by the state.
Peter Kropotkin
The future cannot be legislated. All that can be done is to anticipate its most important movements and to clear the path for them.
Peter Kropotkin
My brother could not write about trifles. Even in society he became animated only when some serious discussion was engaged in, and he complained of feeling 'a dull pain in the brain'--a physical pain, as he used to say--when he was with people who cared only for small talk.
Peter Kropotkin
