“I think that nationality has no relation to that which gives rise to manga. Even among the Japanese, manga creators are making their creations everyday reflecting their own individuality, with none being the same. What is important isn't the differences between the creators but their love for manga.” ThinkingGivingImportantDifferencesCreationRelationEverydayIndividualityCreatorReflectingNationality Author:Natsuki Takaya
“True individuality is the repose arising from the relation of a self to all it has to do with. Bad individuality has in it a separation between outward action and a flat repose inwardly.” SelfActionRelationIndividualitySeparationFlatsRepose Author:Eli Siegel
“Self-confidence is inseparable from submission to the creedal order, and through that order, to the supreme authority expressed in that order. ... Deep individualism cannot exist except in relation to the highest authority. No inner discipline can operate without a charismatic institution, nor can such an institution survive without that supreme authority from a relation to whom self-confidence derives. Without an authority deeply installed, there is no foundation for individuality. Self-confidence thus expresses submission to supreme authority.” SelfOrderDisciplineAuthorityHighestRelationInstitutionsFoundationIndividualitySelf ConfidenceSupremeIndividualismSubmissionInseparableCharismatic Author:Philip Rieff
“A true community consists of individuals - not mere species members, not couples - respecting each others individuality and privacy while at the same time interacting with each other mentally and emotionally - free spirits in free relation to each other - and co-operating with each other to achieve common ends. Traditionalists say the basic unit of "society" is the family; "hippies" say the tribe; noone says the individual.” EndsSpiritIndividualCommunityCommonAchieveCoupleMembersRelationMereSpeciesIndividualityPrivacyUnitsTribesHippieFree SpiritInteractingScum Author:Valerie Solanas
“The Marxist combination of materialism and determinism is fatally anti-humanistic. It denies a consciousness, a mind, that is independent of material conditions and class relations. It denies a will and volition that are capable of shaping the course of history. It denies an individuality that is not reducible to class. It denies both the idea and the reality of freedom, a freedom that is something more than the "bourgeois" freedom to buy and sell. It denies a morality that transcends class interests. And it denies the spirituality of man.” MenMindIdeasRealitySpiritualityCoursesInterestFreedomConsciousnessClassConditionsMaterialsMoralityCapableRelationIndependentSellsIndividualityDenyCombinationMaterialismMarxismBourgeoisMarxistDeterminismHumanisticVolition Book:On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society Source: On Looking Into the Abyss: Untimely Thoughts on Culture and Society
“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents.

“One may live as a conqueror, a king, or a magistrate; but he must die a man.

“Meaning can only be understood in relation to its environment. Therefore, the words only make full sense in context... There are no absolutes, there is no meaning without relationships, everything is not only interacting but interdependent. The kahunas use this idea to help give a person a powerfully secure sense of significance, while at the same time teaching him that to heal himself is to heal the world, and to heal the world is to heal himself. This is not a loss of individuality, but an understanding that individuality itself is a relationship with the environment.” WorldGivingPersonsIdeasHelpingUseSpiritualUnderstandingLossEnvironmentTeachingUnderstoodRelationAbsolutesIndividualityHealSecureSignificanceInteractingHeal The World Author:Serge King
