From Lysander Spooner (1808-1887), American individualist anarchist, entrepreneur, political philosopher, abolitionist, supporter of the labor movement, and legal theorist:
A man’s natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime; whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, or by millions calling themselves a government.”
― Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority (1870)
