More quotes by Ammon Hennacy

An anarchist is someone who doesn't need a cop to make him behave.

A Christian Anarchist does not depend on bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal; he achieves that ideal daily by the One Man Revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused and dying world.

The only revolution worthwhile was the one-man revolution within the heart. Each one could make this by himself and not need to wait on a majority.

We really can’t change the world. We really can’t change other people! The best we can do is to start a few thinking here and there. The best way to do this, if we are sincere, is to change ourselves!

Oh judge! Your damn laws! The good people don't need them, and the bad people don't obey them.

I shall concern myself anew about the boundary
Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No
And pressing forward honor reality.
