“Living is an arbitrary matter and I have every right to renounce it.”

“Or renounce life altogether! Accept fate obediently as it is, once and for all, and stifle everything in myself, renouncing any right to act, to live, to love. ”

“To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties.”

“To renounce freedom is to renounce one's humanity, one's rights as a man and equally one's duties.”

“Isn't strength the ability to renounce every lie in your heart?”

“…I must say that "Right" has no meaning to me whatsoever! Truth has meaning - as a direction. But one of the peculiar imbecilities of our time is the grid of morality we have placed on human behavior: so that every act of man must be measured against an arbitrary latitude of right and longitude of wrong - in exact minutes, seconds, and degrees!...-Henry Drummond, a character in Inherit The Wind”
