"Anarchy, today, is attack; it is war against every authority, every power, every state. In the future society, anarchy will be defence, the prevention of the re-establishment of any authority, any power, any state."

"We have said and we shall not stop repeating it: no intermediaries, no agents and obedient servants who always end by becoming the real masters!"

"We must be communists because we are anarchists, because anarchy and communism are the two essential terms of the revolution."

"Power makes you drunk, and the best, when invested with authority, become the worst."

"Comrades, let us hurry on the revolution as quickly as we can, since, as you see, our enemies are letting us die like this - in prison or in exile, or crazed with sorrow."

"We have no need to get involved with the games of our oppressors, unless we wish to take part in their oppression."
