Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

~ George Carlin

The hope of internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information, or restrict internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century, as North Korea has done.

- Peter Singer

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.

- Rosa Parks

Only the madman is absolutely sure.

- Robert Anton Wilson

There will come a time when it will be recognized that man does not live on horsepower and tools alone. There are also goods which he does not want to and cannot do without. And he will learn to economize, and he will not seek to win one thing, only to lose everything else with it. For if man had gained everything that could be gained with his technology, he would have come to the realization that life on the now disfigured earth—which has been made so excessively easy and simple—is actually no longer worth living; that we have indeed snatched everything that our planet had to give away, and in the process we have destroyed it, and thus ourselves, in this extractive work. Each one of us has to take care of his own part, so that the change may come before it is everywhere too late forever!

- Paul Schultze-Naumburg

All of us are naturally anarchists at heart.

- Roger N. Baldwin

Anyone who understands my music will never be unhappy again.

- Ludwig van Beethoven

Anarchist advocacy of defensive organizations was born out of a historical recognition of the state as the most brutal and ruthless agent of terror, and the recognition that its use of violence depends almost entirely on the degree to which it feels challenged. Anarchists recognize that the state will do anything, no matter how vile, to maintain its own power.

- Sam Mbah

Our future is created from choices we make every minute.

- Deepak Chopra

Modern civilization finds itself in a difficult position because it does not suit us. It has been erected without any knowledge of our real nature. It was born from the whims of scientific discoveries, from the appetites of men, their illusions, their theories, and their desires. Although constructed by our efforts, it is not adjusted to our size and shape.

- Alexis Carrel
