Voltairine de Cleyre Quote

Quote from Voltairine de Cleyre,

"...So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom,
those who wish to tyrannize will do so;
for tyrants are active and ardent,
and will devote themselves in the name
of any number of gods, religious and otherwise,
to put shackles upon sleeping men."
