The events of September 11 and what has happened since have made people understand that even a small, distant and far away country like Afghanistan cannot be left to break up into anarchy and chaos without consequences for the whole world.
Lakhdar Brahimi

Arthur Henderson
I was the only guy with any bit of anarchy left.
Sid Vicious
If we don’t make earnest moves toward real solutions, then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America.
Louis Farrakhan
In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power, unrestricted and unregulated armaments, international anarchy, and preparation for war.

Arthur Henderson
It is not enough for a handful of experts to attempt the solution of a problem, to solve it and then to apply it. The restriction of knowledge to an elite group destroys the spirit of society and leads to its intellectual impoverishment.
Albert Einstein
Anarchy is the true nature of all things. Monarchy, democracy, communism, all useless forms to control the human mind. But a mind cannot be control. It cannot be restrained. It has no boundaries. It has its will. Anarchy is the true nature of all things…

“You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake… This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
Anarchy is the basis for the anti-establishmentarian movement. Now it is a fad and a corporate logo. The fundamental basis for the anarchist movement is against everything it is now associated with. Corporations and mass profiterring on a political ideal. Would some body try this with Republicans or Democrats? Hell no! Anarchy appeals to the milk-fed, sheltered Hot-Topic shopping misguided children that shoot up our schools representing something they don’t understand.

There are not enough jails, not enough policemen, not enough courts, to enforce a law not supported by the people.
ubert H. Humphrey
Why would David Fincher [the guy that made fight club] decide to declare the world meaningless with a two and half hour, sixty million dollar, star-studded, blockbuster production? Why would he bother? Simply put, that is the very point of this film. Fincher acknowledges his hypocrisy with the clever placement of a single frame depicting a giant penis at the end of the film. How could anyone have the audacity to create any sort of nihilistic doctrine? It simply would not make sense.
Jared Levine
All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.
John Arbuthnot
It has always seemed strange to me…The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
Eventually the revolutionaries become the established culture, and then what will they do
Linus Torvalds
Living Gods have a way of being less divine when their armies have left

Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government.
Pierre Joseph Proudhon Quoted In The Match!
I do not wish to remove from my prison to a prison a little larger. I wish to break all prisons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, “I am only boring under my own seat.” “Yes,” said his companions, “but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you.
Talmud
Cyberspace is an illusion, virtual reality is not reality, instantaneous communication with bodies huddled over computer screens is not communication. It’s funny how many people have swallowed the WWW bait. People itch to go home and log on to the WWW.
The Raven, Anarchist Quarterly, Vol. 8, No 4.
… a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing…
Thomas Jefferson
We cannot acknowledge allegience to any human government… Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind…”
