"anarchism is on trial! if that is the case, your honor, very well: you may sentence me, for i am an anarchist. i believe that the state of castes and classes—the state where one class dominates over and lives upon the labor of another class, and calls this 'order'—yes, i believe that this barbaric form of social organization, with its legallized plunder and murder, is doomed to die and make room for a free society, voluntary association, or universal brotherhood, if you like. you may pronounce the sentence upon me, honorable judge, but let the world know that in a.d. 1886, in the state of illinois, eight men were sentenced to death because they believed in a better future; because they had not lost their faith in the ultimate victory of liberty and justice!"

- august spies

"i was tried here in this room for murder and i was convicted of anarchy. i protest against being sentenced to death, because i have not been found guilty of murder. i have been tried for murder, but i have been convicted because i am an anarchist. if the ruling classes think that by hanging us—hanging a few anarchists—they can crush out anarchy, they will be badly mistaken, because the anarchist loves his principles more than his life. an anarchist is always ready to die for his principles."
