Summary

This quote suggests that individuals should explore and utilize their inherent strengths by navigating between the contrasting aspects of life. The two "opposing poles" indicate the diverse experiences and perspectives that exist within humanity. By embracing these opposing forces, individuals can tap into their abilities effectively. Moreover, the quote implies that the purpose of such exploration is for personal growth and spiritual development since "inside human beings is where God learns." In other words, by fully embracing and learning from life's challenges and contradictions, individuals can contribute to their own self-improvement and, perhaps, play a part in the divine's understanding of the human experience.

A critic never made or killed a book or a play. The people themselves are the final judges. It is their opinion that counts. After all, the final test is truth. But the trouble is that most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession and therefore are most economical in its use.

There will never be a really free and enlightened State unti

There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at last which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few went to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen.

Anarchism asserts the possibility of an organization without discipline, fear, or punishment, and without the pressure of poverty: a new social organism which will make an end to the terrible struggle for the means of existence, --the savage struggle which undermines the finest qualities in man, and ever widens the social abyss. In short, Anarchism strives towards a social organization which will establish well-being for all.
