Heroes do not want power over others.”

“One day you will be called upon to break a big law in the name of justice and rationality. Everything will depend on it. You have to be ready. How are you going to prepare for that day when it really matters? You have to stay "in shape" so that when the big day comes you will be ready. What you need is "anarchist calisthenics."

That way, you'll keep trim; and when the big day comes, you'll be ready.”
