Quote by Edward Abbey (1927-1989)

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

• A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

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

• Hierarchical institutions are like giant bulldozers-- obedient to the whim of any fool who takes the controls.

• Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.

• Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.
