Who said “No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.”?

“Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath.”

“I am lord of myself, accountable to none.”

“In the word of no master am I bound to believe.”

“The price for independence is often isolation and solitude.”

“The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.”

“Where there is great love there are always miracles.”

“Give the people a new word and they think they have a new fact.”

“That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great.”

“The dead might as well try to speak to the living as the old to the young.”

“That irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.”

“Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”
