Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.
Jean-Jacques RousseauTo renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.
Jean-Jacques RousseauWhen a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
