Anarchy | Wisdom and the Philosophy of Freedom

"Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing." Ayn Rand

"Does it seem to you impossible to imagine anything more inextricable than the social contract, when you think of the frightful number of relations that it must regulate -- something like squaring the circle, or finding perpetual motion? That is the reason why, wearied of the struggle, you fall back on absolutism and force." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"One must choose between God and Man, and all "radicals" and "progressives", from the mildest liberal to the most extreme anarchist, have in effect chosen Man." George Orwell

"There is nothing, no right and no cause in the world that could justify the use of the atomic bomb." Heinrich Böll

"The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency." Aldous Huxley

"The thin and precarious crust of decency is all that separates any civilization, however impressive, from the hell of anarchy or systematic tyranny which lie in wait beneath the surface ." Aldous Huxley

"Communism--the first expression of the social nature--is the first term of social development--the thesis; property, the reverse of communism, is the second term--the antithesis. When we have discovered the third term, the synthesis, we shall have the required solution." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
