And any society which attempts to hold back or impede this dimension of self-expression, when the history of that society is written, it will be called barbarous.”

“We have each chosen the circumstances of our births in order to carry out our soul's purposes. And these purposes can't always be known to our intellects. Nothing happens randomly.
