“You are told you have the power because you have the numbers. Never make so silly a blunder as to suppose that power resides in numbers. One good, level-headed policeman with a club is worth ten excited, unarmed men; one detachment of well-drilled militia has a power equal to that of the greatest mob that could be raised in New York City.

(…) Strive, then, for power.”

–Voltairine de Clayre. “In Defense of Emma Goldmann” (1894)
