The Noemicon

13/04/2008

Government, what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instance losing its integrity; it has not the vitality and force of a single living man. Law never made man a
whit more just; and by means of their respect for it, even the well disposed are daily made agents of injustice.

Henry David Thoreau

from Emma Goldman’s Anarchism and Other Essays
