There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide;
that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion . . . It is the harder because you will always find those who
think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is
easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.

I do not look on a human being as a machine, made to be kept in action by a foreign force, to accomplish an unvarying
succession of motions, to do a fixed amount of work, and then to fall to pieces at death, but as a being of free spiritual

and expansion.
