“No form of government is valid, or has a logical claim to authority over human beings.                 Government, considered as an entity separate from an individual ruler, is a concept administered by a group.  As it is an idea and not a human being, it does not possess its own freedom of action inherently.  Nor can it acquire freedom of action, since it is the intellectual and conceptual creation of individuals.”
― Tim Parise, Principles of Anarchism

“Freedom of action cannot be transferred between or among individuals or groups.                 If every man possesses the capacity to act as he chooses, without limitation, then the absence of limitation necessarily means that his capacity for freedom of action cannot be added to in any way.  He cannot acquire additional freedom of action from another.  And since that freedom is inherent in him as a human being, he cannot transfer, delegate, or surrender it even if he wishes to do so.  It remains with him permanently, undiminished, as a result of his humanity.”
