“We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. And in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. Obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, I am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. I cannot make liberty my aim unless I make that of others equally my aim.” MenDoeMy OwnLibertyParticularWillingDependsCircumstancesCommitmentAimSakeDefinitionsObliged Author:Jean-Paul Sartre
“Sometimes all that saves me is being willing to make mistakes. There are projects that strike me as so beautiful, important, complicated, or just plain big, that they convince me of my own inadequacy. This awful state of reverence leads to paralyzing brain freeze. At times like that the only way out is for me to decide, 'To hell with it. I can't do it right, so I'll do it wrong. I can't do it well, but I can do it badly.' Sometimes, with luck, while I'm sweating to do it wrong, I stumble on a right way.” WayWellsI CanImportantSometimesStatesBigsBeautifulCan DoMy OwnMistakeBrainHellWillingProjectsLuckComplicatedStrikesAwfulConvinceMaking MistakesReverenceRight WayFreezeI Can Do ItSave MeInadequacySweating Author:Katherine Dunn

“My own take on it is that government will never adequately represent every person in the country. It can't. It's not possible. It's a multicultural, multifaceted society in which we live. The country, I think, thrives because it's willing to embrace many ideas at the same time, but once a decision is made you will be unpopular with many people. The business of our political leaders is to go ahead and make a decision and let the chips fall where they may. That's a very hard thing to do.” PeopleThinkingMayPersonsMadeIdeasCountryHardGovernmentPoliticalFallMy OwnDecisionLeaderWillingEmbraceThings To DoThriveChipsHard ThingsPolitical LeadersMulticultural Author:Kelsey Grammer

“After I graduated from high school, one of the former workers on our farm asked if I would be willing to join him in selling Fuller brushes through the summer. It seemed like a perfect way to make some money for college.
