Vile deeds like poison weeds bloom well in prison air, it is only what is good in man, that wastes and withers there.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), The Ballad of Reading Gaol
No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation. He who chooses his plan for himself, employs all his faculties. He must use observation to see, reasoning and judgment to foresee, activity to gather materials for decision, discrimination to decide, and when he has decided, firmness and self-control to hold to his deliberate decision.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.

Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them.: Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.: Frank Herbert (1920 - 1986), Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, "Dune"
Does it really matter what these affectionate people do-- so long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses!: Mrs. Patrick Campbell
- More quotations on: [Sex]
War cannot be avoided; it can only be postponed to the other's advantage.: Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527)
