Goldman

Famous quotes containing the word goldman:

    One cannot be too extreme in dealing with social ills; the extreme thing is generally the true thing.
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful moulder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable.
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
