Independence Quotes

“Our problem is a political problem and needs a political decision. We are ready for any step, and we must be guaranteed that we will not be sold out or betrayed. We would be supported militarily and financially.”

“The success was the continuation of Mr Barzani’s path. That path provided values and courage deep in peshmergas’ hearts, to fight and continue the struggle, providing deep roots. The path gave peshmerga power and courage, giving hope to all those Kurds tak- ing refuge outside of Iraq.”

“At some point, Maxwell, you have to decide to stop waiting, for adults or anyone else your age. As you say, perhaps some rules are good, and they are there for a reason. I am not saying you should not follow those rules. I am saying you have to stop waiting for other people to tell you what to do. You have to stop waiting for other people to tell you how and who to be. You have to stop waiting for other people to give you permission to live your life.”

“It is in the imperative, inescapable, overwhelming demand that the victim be blamed and that you blame yourself with her. It is in the imperative, inescapable, overwhelming demand to exonerate the murdered at all costs. One does not learn to be silent: one is forced to shut up. One is forcibly silenced.”

“My lord, it should little beseem me that am of the seed of men of war since long generations to trap my mind with the false shows of a greatness that is gone. Yet I pray you forget not this: the dominion of the Demons hath used to soar a pitch above common royalty, and like the eye of day regarded kings from above. And for this style of Queen thou offerest me, I say unto thee it is an addition I desire not, who am sister unto him that writ that writing above the gate that all ye had tasted the truth thereof had he been here to meet with you.”

“The idea that we are better off with one person for the rest of our lives is not an innate truth of existence. It's a belief we want to be true. Forfeiting solitude and independence is a much greater sacrifice than most of us realize. Sharing a habitat, a life, is for sure harder than being alone. In fact, coupled living seems virtually impossible, doesn't it? To find another person to spend all your life with, to age with and change with, to see every day, to respond to their moods and needs?”

“Τα ανεξάρτητα κράτη και οι ελεύθερες κοινωνίες ποτέ, μα ποτέ, στην ιστορία δεν χτίστηκαν με λόγια και διακηρύξεις. Η ενοποίηση αλλά και η διαμόρφωση των ορίων της νεοαποκτηθείσης ελευθερίας, θα ερχόταν μέσα από δοκιμασία. Μακρόχρονη και πικρή δοκιμασία”

“John Bowlby understood that our need for someone to share our lives with is part of our genetic makeup and has nothing to do with how much we love ourselves or how fulfilled we feel on our own. He discovered that once we choose someone special, powerful and often uncontrollable forces come into play. New patterns of behavior kick in regardless of how independent we are and despite our conscious wills. Once we choose a partner, there is no question about whether dependency exists or not. It always does. An elegant coexistence that does not include uncomfortable feelings of vulnerability and fear of loss sounds good but is not our biology. What proved through evolution to have a strong survival advantage is a human couple becoming one physiological unit, which means that if she’s reacting, then I’m reacting, or if he’s upset, that also makes me unsettled. He or she is part of me, and I will do anything to save him or her; having such a vested interest in the well-being of another person translates into a very important survival advantage for both parties.”

“in 1775 there arose a remarkable civic society that aimed to end slavery itself. The society was formed not by Johnson, nor in Johnson’s vaunted London, nor indeed anywhere in Britain proper, but rather in Philadelphia, the host city of the Continental Congress. Two of the society’s early leaders were Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush, who both, in the summer of 1776, added their names to the American Declaration of Independence.”

“However, there was one crucial difference between the narrator and myself: the narrator, as you mentioned, stayed true to her beliefs, even when no one would listen to them, and even though her husband did not approve of her writing, she still kept writing all her thoughts about that resting cure in her diary. On the other hand, I always thought I was hopeless, and although I was aware that my desires and my cousin’s and uncle’s desires are polar opposites, I never internally believed that my thoughts were well-justified, like you and the narrator have done. I even had an empty journal with me, and I was tempted to write down all my thoughts, but I felt so ashamed of my own beliefs that I could not write them down at all---another difference between me and the narrator. But now, you gave this lesson for the C.I.L. where the main character stayed true to herself and was unafraid of writing down her thoughts and experiences---she wrote spontaneously and unreluctantly, while I suffered from severe writer’s block.”

“Yes, it would be easier if I made all the decisions.” Lucky met Snap’s eye. “Easier for you. But do you want to be led by the nose all your life, as though you were living with longpaws, like a Leashed Dog?” He turned to give Sunshine a hard look. “Is that what you’ve fought and survived for—to let others boss you around? You want me to tell you what to think, what to eat, when to sleep, when to wake up? Even if it means you hardly eat at all? Even if you sleep in the draft and wake up freezing cold?”
