Mikhail Bakunin

The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.

If God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish Him.

If you took the most ardent revolutionary, vested him in absolute power, within a year he would be worse than the Tsar himself.

The urge for destruction is also a creative urge!

I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.”

People go to church for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy.
