"...the bombs you are worried about are not the bombs which cartoonists attribute to the anarchists, but the bombs which governments have perfected, at your expense."

From : "Anarchism as a Theory of Organization," by Colin Ward, 1966

"It is, after all, the principle of authority which ensures that people will work for someone else for the greater part of their lives, not because they enjoy it or have any control over their work, but because they see it as their only means of livelihood."

From : "Anarchism as a Theory of Organization," by Colin Ward, 1966

"The anarchists, who have always distinguished between the state and society, adhere to the social principle, which can be seen where-ever men link themselves in an association based on a common need or a common interest."

From : "Anarchism as a Theory of Organization," by Colin Ward, 1966
