More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. it's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.
Believe White Humanity
Why should we desire the destruction of human passions? take passions from human beings and what is left? the great object should be not to destroy passions, but to make them obedient to the intellect. to indulge passion to the utmost is one form of intemperance - to destroy passion is another. the reasonable gratification of passion under the domination of the intellect is true wisdom and perfect virtue.
Passion Perfect Desire
I'll impose upon you the same arrogance that was imposed on me, and on my mother, my grandmother, my grandmother's mother: all the way back to the first human born of another human being, whether he liked it or not. probably, if he or she had been allowed to choose, he would have been frightened and answered: no, i don't want to be born. but no one asked their opinion, and so they were born and lived and died after giving birth to another human being who was not asked to choose, and that one did likewise, for millions of years, right down to us.

Our passions are the chief means of self-preservation; to try to destroy them is therefore as absurd as it is useless; this would be to overcome nature, to reshape god's handiwork. if god bade man annihilate the passions he has given him, god would bid him be and not be; he would contradict himself. he has never given such a foolish commandment, there is nothing like it written on the heart of man, and what god will have a man do, he does not leave to the words of another man. he speaks himself; his words are written in the secret heart.
Mean Passion Heart
We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.
Men Birth Speak
Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it. if we were born to paint, it’s our job to become a painter. if we were born to raise and nurture children, it’s our job to become a mother. if we were born to overthrow the order of ignorance and injustice of the world, it’s our job to realize it and get down to business.

I thought of the bowl of water my mother taught me to look into. it was true, everything a person ever needed to know was right there in a single bowl small enough to fit in the palm of one hand.

I definitely think religion is responsible for a lot of the evils of the world. i mean that's not really in debate. but at the same time, i think whatever gets you through the day, whatever helps you make sense of life i'm not gonna begrudge my grandmother with her rosary beads. it works for them. and at the end of the day, i don't claim to know the answer to anything.
