People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy. (Sharon Ariel)
If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion. (Sharon Ariel)
While the State becomes inflated and hypertrophied in order to obtain a firm enough grip upon individuals, but without succeeding, the latter, without mutual relationships, tumble over one another like so many liquid molecules, encountering no central energy to retain, fix and organize them. (Sharon Ariel)
The State must follow, and not lead, the character and progress of the citizen. (Sharon Ariel)

The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice. (Sharon Ariel)
The essence of the modern state is that the universal be bound up with the complete freedom of its particular members and with private well-being, that thus the interests of family and civil society must concentrate themselves on the state. It is only when both these moments subsist in their strength that the state can be regarded as articulated and genuinely organized. (Sharon Ariel)
As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity. The march of God in the world, that is what the State is. (Sharon Ariel)
The obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them. (Sharon Ariel)
While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State. (Sharon Ariel)
In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs. (Sharon Ariel)
The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it -- a State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished. (Sharon Ariel)
There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at last which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few went to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen. (Sharon Ariel)
Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else. (Sharon Ariel)
The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful. (Sharon Ariel)
Our state's honey industry has suffered on several fronts in recent years, ... In addition to the destruction of honeybee colonies caused by mites and hurricanes, the flood of cheap imported honey has pushed our state's honey producers and packers to the brink of economic disaster. (Sharon Ariel)
If I can't live in New England, I'll try to bring New England to California! (Sharon Ariel)
And this is the Anarchistic definition of the State: the embodiment of the principle of invasion in an individual, or a band of individuals, assuming to act as representatives or masters of the entire people within a given area. (Sharon Ariel)
But which is the State's essential function, aggression or defence, few seem to know or care. (Sharon Ariel)
I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots. (Sharon Ariel)
Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money. (Sharon Ariel)
Iran, Libya and Syria are irresponsible states, which must be disarmed of weapons of mass destruction, and a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier to achieve. (Sharon Ariel)
