The Trouble With Academics And Commentators Is

Utopias Have Their Value -- Nothing So Wonderfully Expands The Imaginative Horizons Of Human Potentialities -- But As Guides To Conduct They Can Prove Literally Fatal.

Few New Truths Have Ever Won Their Way Against The Resistance Of Established Ideas Save By Being Overstated.

I Wish My Life And Decisions To Depend Upon Myself, Not On External Forces Of Whatever Kind. I Wish To Be The Instrument Of My Own, Not Other Men's, Acts Of Will. I Wish To Be The Subject, Not An Object...i Wish To Be Somebody, Not Nobody; A Doer - Deciding, Not Being Decided For, Slef-directed And Not Acted Upon By External Nature Or By Other Men As If I Were A Thing, Or An Animal, Or A Slave Incapable Of Playing A Human Role, That Is, Of Conceiving Goals And Policies Of My Own And Realizing Them.

Life May Be Seen Through Many Windows, None Of Them Necessarily Clear Or Opaque, Less Or More Distorting Than Any Of The Others.
