Out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion amalgamation.

-Bronte«  , Charlotte
  Villette, ch.25.

The society that will organize production on the basis of a free and equal association of the producers will put the whole machinery of the state where it will then belong: into the museum of antiquities, by the side of the spinning wheel and the bronze axe.

-Engels, Friedrich
  The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State.

Le journal repre¤  sente l'association; l'on peut dire qu'il parle a'   chacun de ses lecteurs au nom de tous les autres, et il les entra|"ne d'autant plus aise¤  ment qu'ils sont individuellement plus faibles. L'empire des journaux doit donc cro|"tre a'   mesure que les hommes s'e¤  galisent. A newspaper represents an association; one might say that it addresses each of its readers in the name of all the others, and influences them in proportion to their individual weakness. The power of newspapers should therefore increase as men become more equal.
