"The proper method for hastening the decay of error is

"Property is theft."

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865)

Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921)

"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 (1853-1932)

"I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things."

and fulfillment to any society."
