Anarchism is a word about which there have been many confusions. Anarchy is very often mistakenly regarded as the equivalent of chaos, and an anarchist is thought of as at best a nihilist - a man who has abandoned all principles - and at worst a mindless terrorist.

It is obvious that freedom will be restored to humanity, and that the true interests of society - whether of groups, of local organizations or of all the individuals who compose society - will find true satisfaction only when there are no more States. (p.81, from Michael Bakunin, 1910, Oeuvres Vol.IV)
The abolition of the Church and the State must be the first and indispensable condition of the true liberation of society... (p.82, from Michael Bakunin, 1910, Oeuvres Vol.IV)
Laws are rules, made by people who govern by means of organized violence, for non-compliance with which the non-complier is subjected to blows, to loss of liberty, or even to being murdered. (p.118, from Leo Tolstoy, 1900, The Slavery of Our Times)
To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated over, regulated, docketed, indoctrined, preached at, controlled, assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither right, nor knowledge, nor virtue. That is government, that is its justice, that is its morality. (Pierre-Joseph Proudhon)
Government lays its hands upon the spring that is in society and puts a stop to its motions. It gives substance and permanence to its errors. It reverses the genuine propensities of mind, and instead of suffering us to look forward, teaches us to look backward for perfection. It prompts us to seek the public welfare, not in innovation and improvement, but in a timid reverence for the decisions of our ancestors, as if it were the nature of mind always to degenerate and never to advance. (William Godwin, 1793, Political Justice)

Freed from an oppressive routine, from paralysing repressions and insecurities, from the burdens of toil and false needs, from the trammels of authority and irrational compulsion, individuals will finally, for the first time in history, be in a position to realize their potentialities as members of the human community and the natural world. (Murray Bookchin, 1974, "Post-Scarcity Anarchism")
