 * The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine or human, collective or individual. ~ Mikhail Bakunin (born 30 May 1814)
 * selected by Kalki


 * 2006
 * I bow before the authority of special men because it is imposed on me by my own reason. I am conscious of my own inability to grasp, in all its detail, and positive development, any very large portion of human knowledge. The greatest intelligence would not be equal to a comprehension of the whole... I receive and I give — such is human life. Each directs and is directed in his turn. Therefore there is no fixed and constant authority, but a continual exchange of mutual, temporary, and, above all, voluntary authority and subordination. ~ Mikhail Bakunin (born 30 May 1814)
 * selected by Kalki


 * 2007
 * I myself am human and free only to the extent that I acknowledge the humanity and liberty of all my fellows... I am properly free when all the men and women about me are equally free. Far from being a limitation or a denial of my liberty, the liberty of another is its necessary condition and confirmation. ~ Mikhail Bakunin

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth. ~ Mikhail Bakunin (born May 30)
 * 3 because, as the quote implies, the image of God has been used to enslave many people, instill heavy belief, and target religions against each other. This quote is very true, because more negative has come from religious fanaticism instead of positive. The belief in itself makes all living beings susceptible to feeling as if they are slaves to one master, the creator, so to speak. This image is well painted by Bakunin in this single quote, regardless of whether or not I agree with it. Zarbon 05:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
