“Anarchists are opposed to violence; everyone knows that. The main plank of anarchism is the removal of violence from human relations. It is life based on freedom of the individual, without the intervention of the gendarme. For this reason we are the enemies of capitalism which depends on the protection of the gendarme to oblige workers to allow themselves to be exploited--or even to remain idle and go hungry when it is not in the interest of the bosses to exploit them. We are therefore enemies of the State which is the coercive violent organization of society.”
“I was trained by my husband. He said, If you want a thing done go. If not send. I belong to that group of people who move the piano themselves.”
“Forgiveness is an embrace, across all barriers, against all odds, in defiance of all that is mean and petty and vindictive and cruel in this life.”
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing--for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it's impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
“Go To statement considered harmful.”
“The â€˜Iâ€™ character in journalism is almost pure invention. Unlike the â€˜Iâ€™ of autobiography, who is meant to be seen as a representation of the writer, the â€˜Iâ€™ of journalism is connected to the writer only in a tenuous wayâ€”the way, say, that Superman is connected to Clark Kent. The journalistic â€˜Iâ€™ is an overreliable narrator, a functionary to whom crucial tasks of narration and argument and tone have been entrusted, an ad hoc creation, like the chorus of Greek tragedy. He is an emblematic figure, an embodiment of the idea of the dispassionate observer of life.”
“You teach me, I forget. You show me, I remember. You involve me, I understand.”
“One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.”
