More From Theodore Parker

The painting showed a hairless, oppressed creature with a head like an inverted pear, its hands clapped in horror to its ears, its mouth open in a vast, soundless scream. twisted ripples of the creature's torment, echoes of its cry, flooded out into the air surrounding it; the man or woman, whichever it was, had become contained by its own howl. it had covered its ears against its own sound. the creature stood on a bridge and no one else was present; the creature screamed in isolation. cut off by - or despite - its outcry.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. it would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. the robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The left think they've got a monopoly on this silly idea that we are a nation of immigrants, america's greatness is traceable to its immigrants. i'm sorry. i don't buy that as a stand-alone idea anyway because really what they're trying to say with that is that america's greatness is due to america's diversity, and that has not a thing to do with it. american greatness is because of the constitution, the declaration of independence, and our country.

Every child has a right to its own bent. . . . it has a right to find its own way and go its own way, whether that way seems wise or foolish to others, exactly as an adult has. it has a right to privacy as to its own doings and its own affairs as much as if it were its own father.

Lady of silences calm and distressed torn and most whole rose of memory rose of forgetfulness exhausted and life-giving worried reposeful the single rose is now the garden where all loves end terminate torment of love unsatisfied the greater torment of love satisfied end of the endless journey to no end conclusion of all that is inconclusible speech without word and word of no speech grace to the mother for the garden where all love ends.

Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. he becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
