To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
~ Walter Benjamin ~
Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter. It should be fostered for its own sake.
~ Richard Rorty ~
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
~ Virginia Woolf ~
