Best Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin Quotes: The most famous quotes by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin

The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good.

If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle. — Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
