More quotes by Peter Kropotkin
Vladimir Ilyich [Lenin], your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the ideas you pretend to hold.
Peter Kropotkin
It is only those who do nothing who makes no mistake.
Peter Kropotkin
Lenin is not comparable to any revolutionary figure in history. Revolutionaries have had ideals. Lenin has none.
Peter Kropotkin
Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization
Peter Kropotkin
Prisons are universities of crime, maintained by the state.
Peter Kropotkin
Men passionately desire to live after death, but they often pass away without noticing the fact that the memory of a really good person always lives. It is impressed upon the next generation, and is transmitted again to the children. Is that not an immortality worth striving for?
Peter Kropotkin
War is the usual condition of Europe. A thirty years' supply of causes of war is always on hand.
Peter Kropotkin
A national movement, which does not include in its platform the demand for an economical change advantageous to the masses has no chance of success unless supported by foreign aid.
Peter Kropotkin
Revolutions, we must remember, are always made by minorities.
Peter Kropotkin
The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope.
Peter Kropotkin
Everywhere you will find that the wealth of the wealthy springs from the poverty of the poor.
Peter Kropotkin
As an anarchist, I cannot reconcile myself to any government.
Peter Kropotkin
War is the usual condition of Europe.
Peter Kropotkin
You know how I always believe in the future. Without disorder, the revolution is impossible knowing that, I did not lose hope, and I do not lose it now.
Peter Kropotkin
Poverty, the existence of the poor, was the first cause of riches.
Peter Kropotkin
I understand regicide as a means of obtaining vengeance for the ruin of our lives, but regicide as a means of obtaining political freedom I could never understand.
Peter Kropotkin
Sometimes he would advise me to read poetry, and would send me in his letters quantities of verses and whole poems, which he wrote from memory. 'Read poetry,' he wrote: 'poetry makes men better.' How often, in my later life, I realized the truth of this remark of his! Read poetry: it makes men better.
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
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
When we ask for the abolition of the State and its organs we are always told that we dream of a society composed of men better than they are in reality. But no a thousand times, no. All we ask is that men should not be made worse than they are, by such institutions!
Peter Kropotkin
