“The individual act of obedience is the cornerstone not only of the strength of authoritarian society but also of its weakness.”

― Robert Anton Wilson, *The Illuminatus! Trilogy *

and this:

“A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as ‘state’ and ‘society’ and ‘government’ have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame… as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world…aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure.”

Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
