Being
Identity, that spectator of what he calls himself,
That net and aggregate of energies in transient combination.

The dream of emancipation begins with discarding our chains and ends with discarding ourselves.
The Golden Rule is that there is no Golden Rule.
What is a trait, divorced from the man? A patch of color without a painting.
Every liberty can be noxiously exercised.
