“The great problem of American life [is] the riddle of authority: the difficulty of finding a way, within a liberal and individualistic social order, of living in harmonious and consecrated submission to something larger than oneself.... A yearning for self-transcendence and submission to authority [is] as deeply rooted as the lure of individual liberation.”

“A little health now and again is the ailing person’s best remedy.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries.

Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
