“Mas cada homem não é apenas ele mesmo; é também um ponto único, singularíssimo, sempre importante e peculiar, no qual os fenômenos do mundo se cruzam daquela forma uma só vez e nunca mais. Assim, a história de cada homem é essencial, eterna e divina, e cada homem, ao viver em alguma parte e cumprir os ditames da Natureza, é algo maravilhoso e digno de toda a atenção”

“En el momento del flechazo brotan dos tendencias contradictorias pero ineludibles: una es la genuina aparición de la atracción y el afecto, y la otra es la aparición de una fantasía que quiere anestesiar todos los defectos del otro. Ambos factores crecen al unísono. Hasta que el segundo, la fantasía de creer que el otro es perfecto, no da más y cae. Esto es de esperarse, porque nadie se enamora de un dios. Uno se enamora de un ser humano. Esto afecta la atracción y el afecto. Por eso nunca caen mal las palabras típicas de los abuelos cuando dicen: «Piensa bien antes de estar con alguien». Lamentablemente, tardamos un mínimo de treinta años en darles la razón.”

“Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a ‘Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children. In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous.”
