• "Everything good and noble, grand and beautiful, wise and useful, has been done by the spirit of liberty, from the love of freedom, in spite of and in the teeth of government and authority. When man will have recovered from the effects of authority, when he will understand that freedom is the most precious thing, when he will be free to live, to work, to act, to develop, to enter into social relations with whom he is in sympathy, then warfare, conquests, robbery, theft, corruption, poverty and all the ornaments of the State, all the burden of authority will be looked upon as relics of barbarism."--Emma Goldman

"Candace Falk's project . . . is a major contribution to the history of anarchism and its place in the broader left . . . The introductions, notes, and directories are encyclopedic. Candace Falk's tireless and meticulous work as Goldman's biographer and archivist are evident on every page."—Rebecca Hill, Against the Current "A work of scholarship and a labor of love . . . The care taken in the introduction is repeated throughout."—E. Broidy, CHOICE "These documents speak to important questions of our own times. The American reading public can be grateful to Falk and her collaborators."—Nancy Marie Robertson, Documentary Editing
