As Man Seeks Justice In Equality, So

All Men Are Equal And Free: Society By Nature, And Destination, Is Therefore Autonomous And Ungovernable. If The Sphere Of Activity Of Each Citizen Is Determined By The Natural Division Of Work And By The Choice He Makes Of A Profession, If The Social Functions Are Combined In Such A Way As To Produce A Harmonious Effect, Order Results From The Free Activity Of All Men; There Is No Government. Whoever Puts A Hand On Me To Govern Me Is An Usurper And A Tyrant; I Declare Him My Enemy.

The Faults Of Which We Ask You [god] The Remittance, It Is You Who Make Us Commit Them; The Traps Of Which We Implore You To Deliver Us, It Is You Who Has Set Them For Us; And The Satan Which Surrounds Us, This Satan, It Is You.

The Law Does Not Generate Justice. The Law Is Nothing But A Declaration And Application Of What Is Just.

Does It Seem To You Impossible To Imagine Anything More Inextricable Than The Social Contract, When You Think Of The Frightful Number Of Relations That It Must Regulate -- Something Like Squaring The Circle, Or Finding Perpetual Motion? That Is The Reason Why, Wearied Of The Struggle, You Fall Back On Absolutism And Force.

I Do Not Wish To Be Either Governor Nor Governed!
