Whether the future excellence lies in more law or less law, in more liberty or less liberty; whether property will be finally concentrated or finally cut up; whether sexual passion will reach its sanest in an almost virgin intellectualism or in a full animal freedom; whether we should love everybody with Tolstoy, or spare nobody with Nietzsche;—these are the things about which we are actually fighting most.

It is, moreover, true that the people who have settled least what is progress are the most “progressive” people in it.

- G.K. Chesterton

- Alexander Berkman
