{{quote|''"The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least."''|'''[[Mahatma Gandhi|Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]]'''}}
{{quote|''"Luckily for me, I've never trusted authority figures, be they kings, presidents, or party leaders. Give a man enough power, and he's bound to abuse it, no matter how noble he thinks he is."''|'''Girard Draketooth''', ''[[
{{quote|''"To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place(d) under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."''|'''Pierre-Joseph Proudhon'''}}

{{quote|''"The more laws, the less justice."''|'''[[
{{quote|''The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.''|'''[[
{{quote|''All modes of government are failures. Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things. Oligarchies are unjust to the many, and ochlocracies are unjust to the few. High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. It has been found out.''|'''[[
{{quote|''If you're going to be crazy, you have to make sure you're getting paid for it or else they'll lock you up.''|'''[[Hunter S. Thompson]]'''}}
{{quote|''"Oh boy! Now I've heard it all... Because Soames muscled his way into authority, he's a good guy, huh? Pal, [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] was the "boss" of Germany, remember? And there was [[Genghis Khan]], Nero... Throughout history, cheap punks have made themselves leaders! Regardless of their titles, they were still cheap punks!"''|'''[[Green Arrow]]''', ''[[Green Arrow]] / [[
{{quote|''"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."''|'''V''', ''[[V for Vendetta]]''}}
Line 34:
{{quote|''"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."''|'''Bernardo de la Paz''', [[Robert A. Heinlein]] ''[[The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress]]''}}
{{quote|''"I aim to misbehave."''|'''[[Firefly
{{quote|''"The law has always been the tool of whoever happens to hold all the chips. You can't deny that lives were saved because those bastards were put down."''|'''Yuri Lowell''', ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]''}}
Line 60:
''Look in their eyes, Mom, you'll see me."''|'''[[Bruce Springsteen]]''', "The Ghost of Tom Joad"}}
{{quote|''I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero. I've always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!''|'''Zero''', ''[[
{{quote|''I am definitely a madman with a box!''|'''The Doctor''', ''[[
{{quote|''Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.''|'''Albert Camus'''}}
Line 69:
'''Odo:''' (incredulous laugh) Wait a minute, I want to be sure I heard that correctly. Because it doesn't sound like the Kira Nerys who has made a career out of breaking the rules.<br />
'''Kira:''' Well, I guess I broke one too many.<br />
'''Odo:''' Major, you've been breaking one too many for ''fourteen-and-a-half-years''. Cardassian rules, Bajoran rules, Federation rules, they're all meaningless to you! Because you have a personal code that's always mattered more...and, I'm sorry to say, you're in slim company.|''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
{{quote|''"It is the fundamental duty of the citizen to resist and to restrain the violence of the state."''|'''Noam Chomsky'''}}
