Gustav Landauer quotes

There is no "state" on the one hand, and people who live in it on the other. The "state" much rather belongs to what people do and understand. People do not live in the state. The state lives in the people. (Gustav Landauer)
Anarchy is not a matter of the future; it is a matter of the present. It is not a matter of making demands; it is a matter of how one lives. View quote
Gustav Landauer
Now it can become clear to man that freedom and peace of the nations can only come when as Jesus and his followers, and in our time above all Tolstoi advised, they choose to fully abstain from any violence. View quote
Gustav Landauer
A goal can only be reached if the means are in consonance with its essential nature. One will never attain non-violence through violence. View quote
