“Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state wants to live at the expense of everyone.”
“Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim - when he defends himself - as a criminal.”
“The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.”
“Often the masses are plundered and do not know it.”
“And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty;”
