There is no subjection so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom.
Jean-Jacques RousseauThe man who gets the most out of life is not the one who has lived it longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.
Jean-Jacques RousseauWe do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn; we taste nothing in its purity; we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
