Edward Abbey

"Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others. "

"If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government --and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws. "

"No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets. "

"One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork. "
