The modern mind is never popular in its own day. People hate being made to think.
To judge from the conduct of the opposite parties$$$ we shall be led to conclude that they will mutually hope to evince the justness of their opinions$$$ and to increase the number of their converts by the loudness of their declamations and the bitterness of their invectives.
Hate is an automatic response to fear$$$ for fear humiliates.
In a mad world it always seems simpler to obey.
Hope was an instinct only the reasoning human mind could kill. An animal never knew despair.
I am who I am; no more$$$ no less.
Everything is hard before it is easy
Love is an ideal thing$$$ marriage a real thing.
We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
