Anarchy, therefore, appears as a constituent part of the new philosophy, and that is why Anarchists come in contact, on so many points, with the greatest thinkers and poets of the present day. — Peter Kropotkin

is philosophy. — Daniel Dennett

I'm learning to use my indoor voice like a big boy, so I smile back at the clerk. — Richard Kadrey
