Quote by P. J. O'Rourke

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue.

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable

Summary

This quote suggests that in the context of a divorce, children are often treated as tools or pawns, rather than individuals with their own needs and well-being. It highlights the unfortunate reality that some parents prioritize their own legal battle and financial interests over the welfare and emotional stability of their children during this difficult time. The quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing the well-being of children while navigating a divorce, rather than using them as leverage in a contentious process.

Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals

Individualism, as a definition of holding to personal ideals, is classed as obstinacy and anti-social. Inevitably we run point blank into the evils of compromise. When compromise enters our moral fiber, it spreads like a cancerous growth. We think we plan adequate safeguards around areas in which we contemplate yielding our standards, but once we lower the fence and break our strong will to do right, come what may, we expose ourselves to forces that spread beyond control. Compromise always starts on some rather insignificant principle. The dangers of yielding seem negligible and we usually risk those things first where observation and detection by others is difficult. We thus seek to avoid censure and discipline. In a short time we find ourselves trading our principles for false values and doing it in the black market of human relationships. . . .
