“Peace or harmony between the sexes and individuals does not necessarily depend on a superficial equalization of human beings; nor does it call for the elimination of individual traits and peculiarities. The problem that confronts us today, and which the nearest future is to solve, is how to be one's self and yet in oneness with others, to feel deeply with all human beings and still retain one's own characteristic qualities.” FeelsHumansDoeStillsSelfProblemTodayIndividualSexHuman BeingsQualityDependsHarmonySolveOnenessCharacteristicsTraitsSuperficialElimination Book:Anarchism and Other Essays Source: Anarchism and Other Essays
