“My own philosophy is that you don't really belong to yourself.

“It requires something more than personal experience to gain a philosophy or point of view from any specific event. It is the quality of our response to the event and our capacity to enter into the lives of others that help us to make their lives and experiences our own.

What I have seen meted out to others by authority and repression, economic and political, transcends anything I myself may have endured.” WellsMayPhilosophyHelpingPoliticalMy OwnViewsQualityCasesEconomicEventsAuthorityGainsCapacityResponseConvictionPoint Of ViewRepressionPersonal ExperiencesLives Of Others Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader
