"Are we still of any use? What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, straightforward men. Will our inward power of resistance be strong enough, and our honesty with ourselves remoreseless enough, for us to find our way back to simplicity and straightforwardness?"

"We have defined freedom in the West as the freedom to choose between options and preferences. That’s not primal freedom. That’s a secondary or even tertiary freedom. The primal freedom is the freedom to be the self, the freedom to live in the truth despite all circumstances. Secular freedom is having to do what you want to do. Religious freedom is wanting to do what you have to do."

countcenci asked: Live concert at an intimate venue, and you can only see one of these artists in their prime: Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, Doris Duke or Laura Lee. Who wins out?

Oh man!

My gut would say Nina but with Etta James in the news lately for declining health, my heart is with her.
