Alexander Berkman Quotes

War means blind obedience, unthinking stupidity, brutish callousness, wanton destruction, and irresponsible murder.

When the highwayman holds his gun to your head, you turn your valuables over to him. You 'consent' alright, but you do so because you cannot help yourself, because you are compelled by his gun. Are you not compelled to work for an employer? Your need compels you, just as the highwayman's gun.

War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood.
