In virtue of this monstrous system, the son of the worker, on entering life, finds no field which he may till, no machine which he may tend, no mine … - Pyotr Kropotkin
" "In virtue of this monstrous system, the son of the worker, on entering life, finds no field which he may till, no machine which he may tend, no mine in which he may dig, without accepting to leave a great part of what he will produce to a master. He must sell his labour for a scant and uncertain wage. His father and his grandfather have toiled to drain this field, to build this mill, to perfect this machine. They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give?

Additional quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin
"Nous savons que si l'ingénieur, le savant, le docteur sont payés aujourd'hui dix ou cent fois plus que le travailleur, ce n'est oas en raison des "frais de production" de ces messieurs. C'est en raison d'un monopole d'éducation. L'ingénieur, le savant et le docteur exploitent tout bonnement un capital - leur brevet - tout comme le bourgeois exploite une usine, ou le noble exploitant ses titres de naissance. Le grade universitaire a remplacé l'acte de naissance du noble de l'ancien régime."
