  • It is the quality of patriotism to be jealous and watchful, to observe all secret machinations, and to see publick dangers at a distance. The true lover of his country is ready to communicate his fears, and to sound the alarm, whenever he perceives the approach of mischief. But he sounds no alarm, when there is no enemy; he never terrifies his countrymen till he is terrified himself. The patriotism, therefore, may be justly doubted of him, who professes to be disturbed by incredibilities.

    Samuel Johnson, Arthur Murphy (1811). “The Works of Samuel Johnson, L. L. D.: In Twelve Volumes”, p.135

    "Little Foxes". Book by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Chapter 3, 1865.

    Sweet   Lovers   Beloved

    Moon   Men   Degrees  
    Walter Scott (1826). “Poetical Works Complete in One Volume”, p.352
  • The political superstition is still holding sway over the hearts and minds of the masses, but the true lovers of liberty will have no more to do with it. Instead, they believe with Stirner that man has as much liberty as he is willing to take. Anarchism therefore stands for direct action, the open defiance of, and resistance to, all laws and restrictions, economic, social, and moral. But defiance and resistance are illegal. Therein lies the salvation of man. Everything illegal necessitates integrity, self-reliance and courage.

    Emma Goldman (2015). “Anarchism: Top Crime Collections”, p.36, 谷月社

    Mean   Men   Doe  
    Rosalind Miles (2007). “Isolde, Queen of the Western Isle: The First of the Tristan and Isolde Novels”, p.57, Broadway Books
  • You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover.

    Heart   Knowing   Church

    Cheer   Giving   Sublime  
    Lord Byron (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Lord Byron (Illustrated)”, p.1029, Delphi Classics
