In the midst of such indescribable splendor, I am faced both by my insignificance and the significance of choices I have and will make. We are all programmed, though we insist otherwise most times, to seek approval for our very existence, forsaking our peace of mind for what sits well with everyone's implicit or expressed consent, when our years, 20 or 93 declares in no uncertain terms that freedom to decide and steadfast courage to hold no one accountable for (the) ensuing bliss or sorrow but ourselves is the most fulfilling emancipation of all. ↗

Up to now, I have never served nor become a messenger for any foreign power or interest. I am an enemy to any kind of slavery, in all its shapes and colors. No man, be he European or African, can force me into the yoke of any kind of bondage. If there be some one who dares to attempt my assassination in order to force me to submit to doing things contrary to my feeling and will, then I also have in me the courage to die for my political beliefs, for the cause of liberty of my country, and for the genuine interest of my brothers and sisters. ↗

Weak? Oh, I am sick of hearing that phrase. Sick of using it about others. Weak? Do you really think, that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not-there is no weakness in that. There is a horrible, terrible courage. I had that courage. ↗

Before he could lose courage he flung himself back and slammed his sleep-inducer to full theta. ↗
