“The right to freedom of expression is justified first of all as the right of an individual purely in his capacity as an individual.

“Any great artist is wrestling with their sadness and loneliness, their fears, anxieties and securities, and they're transfiguring those into complicated forms of expression that affect our hearts, minds and souls and remind us of who we are as human beings, the fragility of our human status and the inevitability of death.” MindHumansHeartSoulFormArtistHuman BeingsSadnessSecurityLonelinessExpressionAnxietyComplicatedWho We AreWrestlingGreat ArtGreat ArtistInevitabilityFragilityHeart Mind And SoulInevitability Of DeathSadness And Loneliness Author:Cornel West

“Any form of corporal punishment or 'spanking' is a violent attack upon another human being's integrity. The effect remains with the victim forever and becomes an unforgiving part of his or hier personality--a massive frustration resulting in a hostility which will seek expression in later life in violent acts towards others. The sooner we understand that love and gentleness are the only kinds of called-far behavior towards children, the better. The child, especially, learns to become the kind of human being that he or she has experienced. This should be fully understood by all caregivers.” ShouldHumansKindChildrenFormHuman BeingsForeverEffectsExpressionPersonalityIntegrityBehaviorUnderstoodVictimRemainsPunishmentViolentFrustrationMassiveGentlenessHostilityUnforgivingSpankingCaregiversCorporal PunishmentViolent Acts Author:Ashley Montagu

“One reason why so many people are unhappy, not knowing why, is that they have burdened their minds with resentments. These evil thoughts pile right on top of happier and generous ones and smother them so that they never get expression. Resentments are a form of hate....

“Both sex and death are eternal themes. You could make thousands of movies on this theme, and whether you have a human being who is painting, singing, making a film, writing, these are the themes that you will come back to and return to. If you don't have any of these artistic expressions, sex is one of the only gifts that nature gave you for free, so it is very important to celebrate it. And then, with death, we are condemned to that.

“For as long as human beings are forced to live in a system that at every turn impedes the fulfillment of their basic human needs - not only for love but for creative and spiritual expression - they will try to compensate for this in other ways, including the compulsive acquisition of ever more material goods.” WayNeedsTryingHumansLongSpiritualTurnsHuman BeingsLossCreativeExpressionMaterialsIncludingDisasterFulfillmentGoodsAcquisitionHuman NeedsBasic Human Needs Author:Riane Eisler
