“Every limited mind demands a certain freedom of expression, and the man who cannot express himself satisfactorily without the stimulation derived from the spirited mode of two centuries ago should certainly be permitted to follow without undue restraint a practice so harmless, so free from essential error, and so sanctioned by precedent, as that of employing in his poetical compositions the smooth and inoffensive allowable rhyme.” MenShouldMindTwoCertainPracticeCenturyHe ManExpressionDemandEssentialsErrorsCompositionSmoothRestraintRhymeFreedom Of ExpressionPrecedentSpiritedStimulationEmploying Author:H.

“Mr. Pickwick took a seat and the paper, but instead of reading the latter, peeped over the top of it, and took a survey of the man of business, who was an elderly, pimply-faced, vegetable-diet sort of man, in a black coat, dark mixture trousers, and small black gaiters; a kind of being who seemed to be an essential part of the desk at which he was writing, and to have as much thought or sentiment.” MenWritingKindCharacterReadingBlackDarkInterestingHe ManEssentialsPaperDietsSeatsLatterSentimentsVegetablesDesksCoatsMixturesElderlySurveysOver The TopTrousersInteresting Characters Book:The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club Source: The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club
“A man in love ... is the master, so it seems, but only if his lady friend permits it! The need to interchange the roles of slave and master for the sake of the relationship is never more clearly demonstrated than in the course of an affair. Never is the complicity between victim and executioner more essential. Even chained, down on her knees, begging for mercy, it is the woman, finally, who is in command ... the all powerful slave, dragging herself along the ground at her master's heels, is now really the god. The man is only her priest, living in fear and trembling of her displeasure.” IfsMenNeedsSeemsCoursesWomenLove IsPowerfulRolesHe ManMastersEssentialsMercyVictimSlaveAffairSakeCommandKneesPriestsPermitHeelsBeggingTremblingChainedComplicityExecutionersDispleasureInterchangeLiving In Fear Author:Anne Desclos

“Education is a matter of the spirit. No wiser word has been said on the subject, and yet we persist in applying education from without. No one knoweth the things of the man except the spirit of man which is in him; therefore, there is no education but self-education, and as soon as a young child begins his education, he does so as a student. Our business is to give him mind stuff.
