• La anarquía, cuando se esfuerza por destruir la autoridad en todos sus aspectos, cuando exige la abrogación de las leyes y la abolición del mecanismo que sirve para imponerlas, cuando rechaza toda organización jerárquica y predica el libre acuerdo, se esfuerza al mismo tiempo por mantener y ampliar el precioso núcleo de costumbres sociales sin el cual ninguna sociedad humana o animal puede existir. Sólo que, en lugar de exigir que esas costumbres sociales se mantengan mediante la autoridad de unos pocos, lo exige de la acción continuada de todos.

• The education we all receive from the State, at school and after, has so warped our minds that the very notion of freedom ends up by being lost, and disguised in servitude. It is a sad sight to see those who believe themselves to be revolutionaries unleashing their hatred on the anarchist just because his views on freedom go beyond their petty and narrow concepts of freedom learned in the State school.

• Man is appealed to be guided in his acts, not merely by love, which is always personal, or at best tribal, but by his perception of his oneness with each human being. In the practice of mutual aid, which we can re-trace to the earliest beginnings of evolution, we thus find the positive and undoubted origin of our ethical conceptions; and we can affirm that in the ethical progress of man, mutual support- not mutual struggle- has had the leading part.
