RANDOM QUOTE

“The sin our fathers sinned was
that they did not trust liberty
wholly. They thought it possible to
compromise between liberty and government, believing
the latter to be "a necessary
evil," and the moment the compromise
was made, the whole misbegotten monster
of our present tyranny began to
grow. Instruments which are set up
to safeguard rights become the very
whip with which the free are
struck. Anarchism says, Make no laws
whatever concerning speech, and speech will
be free; so soon as you
make a declaration on paper that
speech shall be free, you will
have a hundred lawyers proving that
"freedom does not mean abuse, nor
liberty license"; and they will define
and define freedom out of existence.
Let the guarantee of free speech
be in every man's determination to
use it, and we shall have
no need of paper declarations. On
the other hand, so long as
the people do not care to
exercise their freedom, those who wish
to tyrannize will do so; for
tyrants are active and ardent, and
will devote themselves in the name
of any number of gods, religious
and otherwise, to put shackles upon
sleeping men.”

Voltairine de Cleyre
