"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you everybody but yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."

E. E. Cummings

Conscience


I’m just his father, Elisa,  not his conscience. A man’s life ain’t worth beans except he lives up to his own conscience. I’ve got to give Josh that chance.
~ Gary Cooper as Jess Birdwell in William Wyler’s “Friendly Persuasion.”
