I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

A little integrity is better than any career

Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. - Ralph Waldo Emerson,

Use language what you will, you can never say anything but what you are.

Language is fossil poetry.
