Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who constantly seek approval from others tend to receive a lesser amount of it. On the other hand, those who do not rely heavily on seeking approval tend to attract more validation from their surroundings. It highlights the irony of the situation, where the more someone desperately seeks approval, the more they are likely to come across as seeking it, which could potentially evoke a negative response. In contrast, individuals who are self-assured and confident, and don't feel the need for constant validation, often command more respect and admiration from others.

There's always moral instruction whether the writer inserts

There's always moral instruction whether the writer inserts it deliberately or not. The least effective moral instruction in fiction is that which is consciously inserted. Partly because it won't reflect the storyteller's true beliefs, it will only reflect what he BELIEVES he believes, or what he thinks he should believe or what he's been persuaded of. But when you write without deliberately expressing moral teachings, the morals that show up are the ones you actually live by. The beliefs that you don't even think to question, that you don't even notice-- those will show up. And that tells much more truth about what you believe than your deliberate moral machinations.

A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high virtues of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation.

Thus, in accordance with the spirit of the Historical School, knowledge of the principles of the human world falls within that world itself, and the human sciences form an independent system.
