Henry David Thoreau
“The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure. There will be a wide margin for relaxation to his day. He is only earnest to secure the kernels of time, and does not exaggerate the value of the husk. Why should the hen set all day? She can lay but one egg, and besides she will not have picked up materials for a new one. Those who work much do not work hard.”
Henry David Thoreau, The Journal, 1837-1861

Ernest Becker
“Anthropologists have long known that when a tribe of people lose their feeling that their way of life is worth-while they may stop reproducing, or in large numbers simply lie down and die beside streams full of fish: food is not the primary nourishment of man.”
Ernest Becker, The Birth and Death of Meaning: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on the Problem of Man

Max Stirner
“To the believer, truths are a settled thing, a fact; to the freethinker, a thing that is still to be settled.”
Max Stirner, The Ego and Its Own

Max Stirner
“Everything sacred is a tie, a fetter.”
Max Stirner, The Ego and Its Own

Lysander Spooner
“…there is no difference…between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man’s ownership of himself and the products of his labor; and asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure.”  ”
Lysander Spooner
