Quotes
edit- Anarchy means no domination or authority of one man over another, yet you call that "disorder."
- Statement to the Court (1886)
- I die happy on the gallows, so confident am I that the hundreds and thousands to whom I have spoken will remember my words; and when you shall have hanged us, then, mark my words, they will do the bomb-throwing! In this hope do I say to you: "I despise you. I despise your order; your laws; your force-propped authority." Hang me for it!
- Statement to the Court (1886)
