“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rachel-erika Henderson
“A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.”
Oscar Wilde
“Individual liberty can only be acquired individually. It is not something to be imposed, nor it is automatically guaranteed. One begins to commence it when the mind is no longer enslaved by foreign ideas and outwards carriages are commissioned from inner independent thinking.”
Jonathan Chen
“When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them anyways.”
Marilyn Monroe
