“But what right had I to these highest joys, when all around me was nothing but misery and struggle for a moldy bit of bread; when whatsoever I should spend to enable me to live in that world of higher emotions must needs be taken from the very mouths of those who grew the wheat and had not bread enough for their children?” WorldNeedsShouldChildrenEnoughJoyBitsEmotionStruggleTakenGrewHigherHighestMouthsMiseryBreadWheat Author:Peter Kropotkin
“All is for all! If the man and the woman bear their fair share of work, they have a right to their fair share of all that is produced by all, and that share is enough to secure them well-being.
