“I say: liberate yourself as far as you can, and you have done your part; for it is not given to every one to break through all limits, or, more expressively, not to everyone is that a limit which is a limit for the rest. Consequently, do not tire yourself with toiling at the limits of others; enough if you tear down yours. He who overturns one of his limits may have shown others the way and the means; the overturning of their limits remains their affair.” IfsWayMayMeanDoneEnoughGivenBreakTearsLimitsRemainsAffairTireAnarchismBreak ThroughToiling Author:Max Stirner

“The State has always one purpose: to limit, control, subordinate the individual and subject him to the general purpose Through its censorship, its supervision, and its police the State tries to obstruct all free activity and sees this repression as its duty, because the instinct of self-preservation demands it. The State does not permit me to use my thoughts to their full value and communicate them to other men unless they are its own Otherwise it shuts me up.” MenTryingDoeSelfStatesUsePurposeValuesIndividualSubjectsDutyActivityDemandLimitsPoliceInstinctCommunicatePermitCensorshipPreservationMy ThoughtsRepressionSubordinatesSelf PreservationSupervision Author:Max Stirner
