More From Margaret Fuller

... where the greeks had modesty, we have cant; where they had poetry, we have cant; where they had patriotism, we have cant; where they had anything that exalts, delights, or adorns humanity, we have nothing but cant, cant, cant.
Greek Humanity Insulting
Just take me with you. please. i cant. please, papa. i cant. i cant hold my son dead in my arms. i thought i could but i cant.
Son Papa Arms
I didn't think at all about my body until after i stopped nursing. when i was nursing, my body was my daughter's, i didn't even think about it. then i finished nursing, and i was kind of like "oh, huh, wow, my body's so different."
Daughter Nursing Thinking
Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization
