Our own happiness depends on it. -- Emile Armandhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism

Governmental communism, like theocratic communism, is repugnant to the worker. -- Peter Kropotkinhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism

As man grows refined, he comes also to live not only for himself and in himself. -- Jean Gravehttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
