"Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members". This quote from 'Self-Reliance' by Ralph Waldo Emerson emphasizes the idea that one should be themselves and not indifferent to the norms of society. ]]> 2021-12-03 17:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tbland1427/1cqw2t7q3fj7qcbh/wish/1927798651 tbland1427 https://padlet.com/tbland1427/1cqw2t7q3fj7qcbh/wish/1927821758 The song 'Born in the U.S.A' carries a lot of meaning behind it.

Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”]]> 2021-12-03 17:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tbland1427/1cqw2t7q3fj7qcbh/wish/1927837865 tbland1427 https://padlet.com/tbland1427/1cqw2t7q3fj7qcbh/wish/1930161803 “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."

He lived on his own for a sense of individualism. McCandles reflected reliance as key to survival which is ironic. He held these principles with him till the moment he passed. ]]> 2021-12-06 02:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tbland1427/1cqw2t7q3fj7qcbh/wish/1930168901
