Notable Quotable 240
Hey, I know it's Monday, but it's also a new day, a new week and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen.
- Michael Ealy
The State has always one purpose: to limit, control, subordinate the individual and subject him to the general purpose Through its censorship, its supervision, and its police. The State tries to obstruct all free activity and sees this repression as its duty, because the instinct of self-preservation demands it. The State does not permit me to use my thoughts to their full value and communicate them to other men unless they are its own Otherwise it shuts me up.
- Max Stirner
Above all we should not forget, that government is an evil, an usurpation upon the private judgment and individual conscience of mankind.
- William Godwin
True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her.
- Zig Ziglar
Our potlatch is one of baseness, shamelessness, obscenity, debasement and abjection. This is the whole movement of our culture - it is here that we raise the stakes. Our truth is always to be sought in unveiling, desublimation, reductive analysis -- it is the truth of the repressed, of exhibition, of confession, of laying bare. Nothing is true if it is not de-sacralized, objectivized, shorn of its aura, dragged on to the stage. Our potlatch is the potlatch of indifference -- an in-differentiation of values, but also an indifference to ourselves. If we cannot lay our own lives on the line, this is because we are already dead. And it is this indifference and abjection that we throw out to the others as a challenge: the challenge to debase themselves in their turn, to deny their own values, to lay themselves bare, to make their confessions, to own up -- in short, to respond with a nihilism equal to our own.
- Jean Baudrillard
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intolerance of oppression, the desire to be free and develop one personality to its full limits, is not enough to make one an anarchist. That aspiration towards unlimited freedom, if not tempered by a love for mankind and by the desire that all should enjoy equal freedom, may well create rebels who soon become exploiters and tyrants.
- Errico Malatesta
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
- Socrates
And by anarchist spirit I mean that deeply human sentiment, which aims at the good of all, freedom and justice for all, solidarity and love among the people; which is not an exclusive characteristic only of self-declared anarchists, but inspires all people who have a generous heart and an open mind.
- Errico Malatesta
Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.
- R.J. Palacio, Wonder
