Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that you toast in champagne. On the contrary, it's hard graft and a long-distance run, all alone, very exhausting. Alone in a dreary room, alone in the dock before the judges, and alone to make up your mind, before yourself and before the judgement of others. At the end of every freedom there is a sentence, which is why freedom is too heavy to bear.

Albert Camus

Any man who is really a man must learn to be alone in the midst of others, to think alone for others, and, if necessary, against others.

Romain Rolland

It requires two indiscreet persons to institute a quarrel; one individual cannot quarrel alone.

Aime Martin

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

William Butler Yeats

A lover's quarrel is always about every quarrel you ever had.

Robert Breault

A small country town is not the place in which one would choose to quarrel with a wife; every human being in such places is a spy.

Samuel Johnson

Though a quarrel in the streets is a thing to be hated, the energies displayed in it are fine; the commonest man shows a grace in his quarrel.

John Keats

Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Is my mom all right?" "She's perfectly fine. don't worry, Bella, I have no quarrel with her. Unless you didn't come alone, of course." Light, amused. "I'm alone." I'd never been more alone in my entire life.

Stephenie Meyer

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

Claude Levi-Strauss

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor anyone in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

Claude Levi-Strauss

Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.

Lloyd Alexander

The man who does not think it was America's duty to fight for her own sake in view of the infamous conduct of Germany toward us stands on a level with a man who wouldn't think it necessary to fight in a private quarrel because his wife's face was slapped.

Theodore Roosevelt

A man may quarrel with himself alone; that is, by controverting his better instincts and knowledge when brought face to face with temptation.

William Ellery Channing

Man is not the most majestic of the creatures; long before the mammals even, the dinosaurs were far more splendid. But he has what no other animal possesses: a jigsaw of faculties, which alone, over three thousand million years of life, made him creative. Every animal leaves traces of what he was. Man alone leaves traces of what he created.

Jacob Bronowski

The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.

Theodore Roosevelt
