“It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.” MaySelfFactsLostFearBitsEmotionalPrideEqualLosingWeaknessEmptyOppositesIndependenceDesertSelfishnessMaskCowardFearfulIntimidatedWithout LoveCowardlyTentsPersonificationBarricadesPolar OppositesAfraid To LoveLove Strength Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“Everyone has an equal and absolute right to sovereignty over his own body, his own property, and his own life, and to pursue his own happiness in any way that he chooses. No one has the authority to grant rights to anyone else, because human beings already possess all natural rights at birth. These rights include both personal and economic freedoms, and the only way they can be lost is if someone takes them away by force. The only right that an individual does not naturally possess is the right to violate someone else's liberty.” IfsWayHumansDoeBodyIndividualLostForceNaturalHuman BeingsLibertyRightsEconomicBirthEqualAuthorityAbsolutesPropertyPursueGrantsSovereigntyEconomic FreedomNatural Rights Author:Robert Ringer

“Nothing could be slow enough, nothing lasts too long. No pleasure could equal, she thought, straightening the chairs, pushing in one book on the shelf, this having done with the triumphs of youth, lost herself in the process of living, to find it with a shock of delight, as the sun rose, as the day sank. Many a time had she gone, at Barton when they were all talking, to look at the sky; seen it between peoples shoulders at dinner; seen it in London when she could not sleep.
