Quotation
“Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State- and church-begotten weed, marriage?”
Emma Goldman
The idea behind the quotation
Love is a powerful, liberating force that shapes human lives, so Goldman questions how it can be equated with marriage, an institution shaped by the state and church.
