More From Reinhold Niebuhr

It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.
Husband Home Son
The book can't compete with the screen. it couldn't compete beginning with the movie screen. it couldn't compete with the television screen and it can't compete with the computer screen i don't think. and now we have all those screens so against all those screens i think the book can't measure up.

There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.

The individual man, in introspecting the fact of his own consciousness, also discovers the primordial natural fact of his freedom: his freedom to choose, his freedom to use or not use his reason about any given subject. in short, the natural fact of his "free will." he also discovers the natural fact of his mind's command over his body and its actions: that is, of his natural ownership over his self.
Freedom Men Self
The one impulse in man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors.
