• As it becomes more and more difficult to get land, so will the virtual enslavement of the laboring-classe s go on. As the value of land rises, more and more of the earnings of labor will be demanded for the use of land, until finally nothing is left to laborers but the wages of slavery -- a bare living.

• To me the bicycle is in many ways a more satisfactory invention than the automobile. It is consonant with the independence of man because it works under his own power entirely. There is no combustion of some petroleum product..to set the pedals going. Purely mechanical instruments like watches and bicycles are to be preferred to engines that depend on the purchase of power from foreign sources....The price of power is enslavement.

• Estaba en el monte Tamalpais, cerca de San Francisco, haciendo senderismo, cuando una roca se precipitó ladera abajo y me destrozó la mano izquierda. Cuando miré mis dedos destrozados y ensangrentados, tuve una extraña reacción. Gracias a Dios no tendré que volver a jugar", me dije. El hecho es que la dedicación al propio arte implica una especie de esclavitud.

• New York is perhaps the only place in America where you feel at the centre and not at the margins, in the provinces, so for that reason I prefer its horror to this privileged beauty, its enslavement to the freedoms which remain local and privileged and very particularized, and which do not represent a genuine antithesis.

• Es increíble cómo tan pronto como un pueblo se convierte en súbdito, rápidamente cae en un olvido tan completo de su libertad que difícilmente puede ser despertado hasta el punto de recuperarla, obedeciendo tan fácilmente y de buena gana que uno se ve llevado a decir que este pueblo no ha perdido tanto su libertad como ganado su esclavitud.

• To-day we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama. The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object's sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed.

• En la medida en que el arte conserva, con la promesa de la felicidad, el recuerdo de la meta que fracasó, puede entrar, como "idea regulativa", en la lucha desesperada por cambiar el mundo. Contra todo fetichismo de las fuerzas productivas, contra la continua esclavitud de los individuos por las condiciones objetivas (que siguen siendo las de la dominación), el arte representa la meta última de todas las revoluciones: la libertad y la felicidad del individuo.
