"He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests;……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests; he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
