To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.
Jean-Jacques RousseauConsolation indiscreetly pressed upon us, when we are suffering undue affliction, only serves to increase our pain, and to render our grief more poignant.
Jean-Jacques RousseauLet the trumpet of the day of judgment sound when it will, I shall appear with this book in my hand before the Sovereign Judge, and cry with a loud voice, This is my work, there were my thoughts, and thus was I. I have freely told both the good and the bad, have hid nothing wicked, added nothing good.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
