Jean-Jacques Rousseau·1762

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

William James·1906

Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

Søren Kierkegaard·1846

What labels me, negates me.
