“I can see others in the sunlight; I can see our boats' crews and our athletic young men on the glistening water, or speckled with the moving lights of sunlit leaves; but I myself am always in the shadow looking on. Not unsympathetically, - God forbid! - but looking on alone, much as I looked at Sylvia from the shadows of the ruined house, or looked at the red gleam shining through the farmer's windows, and listened to the fall of dancing feet, when all the ruin was dark that night in the quadrangle.” MenI CanLightMovingYoungNightFallHouseWaterNatureDarkFeetShadowRedWindowDancingShiningBoatRuinsYoung ManFarmersSunlightCrewRuinedAthleticGleamShining Through Book:Hard Times (And Other Stories) Source: Hard Times (And Other Stories)

“The idea of absolute freedom is fiction. It's based on the idea of an independent self. But in fact, there's no such thing. There's no self without other people. There's no self without sunlight. There's no self without dew. And water. And bees to pollinate the food that we eat...So the idea of behaving in a way that doesn't acknowledge those reciprocal relationships is not really freedom, it's indulgence.” PeopleWayIdeasSelfFactsWaterNatureAnimalFictionAbsolutesIndependentAcknowledgeSunlightBeesIndulgenceDewReciprocalAbsolute Freedom Author:Peter Coyote
