More From Emma Goldman

I wonder why anyone would hesitate to be generous with their writing. i mean, if you really want to make a living, go to wall street and trade oil futures ... we're writers. we're doing something that is inherently a generous act. we're exposing ourselves to the muse and to the things that frighten us. why do that if you're not willing to be generous? and paradoxically, almost ironically, it turns out that the more generous you are, the more money you make. but that's secondary. for me, the privilege of being generous is why i get to do this.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, i was made clearly to understand that i had no friends, that i was alone in the world. because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither i nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.
Book Reading Hands
Flailing and thrashing, buttercup wept and tossed and paced and wept some more, and there have been three great cases of jealousy since david of galilee was first afflicted with the emotion when he could no longer stand the fact that his neighbor saul's cactus outshone his own. (originally, jealousy pertained solely to plants, other people's cactus or ginkgoes, or, later, when there was grass, grass, which is why, even to this day, we say that someone is green with jealousy.) buttercup's case rated a close fourth on the all-time list. it was a very long and very green night.
Night Long People
There is a very broad theory that society gets the right to hang, as the individual gets the right to defend himself. suppose she does; there are certain principles which limit this right. society has got the murderer within four walls; he never can do any more harm. has society any need to take that man's life to protect itself? if any society has only the right that the individual has, she has no right to inflict the penalty of death, because she can effectually restrain the individual from ever again committing his offence.

For even satire is a form of sympathy. it is the way our sympathy flows and recoils that really determines our lives. and here lies the vast importance of the novel, properly handled. it can inform and lead into new places our sympathy away in recoil from things gone dead. therefore the novel, properly handled, can reveal the most secret places of life: for it is the passional secret places of life, above all, that the tide of sensitive awareness needs to ebb and flow, cleansing and freshening.
