“After you have gotten the mind, allowed the mind, to remove its focus from your story—tell it to refocus on what you—Big You—now choose to be. Once you get free of your story and your data, once you get to the space of no-thought, you then choose a state of being.”

“If you choose the liberty and pride and strength of the single soul, and the free fraternization of men, as the purpose which your life is to make manifest then do not sell it for tinsel.”

Voltairine de Cleyre (1866–1912) American anarchist writer and feminist

The Dominant Idea (1910)
Context: If you choose the liberty and pride and strength of the single soul, and the free fraternization of men, as the purpose which your life is to make manifest then do not sell it for tinsel. Think that your soul is strong and will hold its way; and slowly, through bitter struggle perhaps the strength will grow. And the foregoing of possessions for which others barter the last possibility of freedom will become easy.

Chief Joseph (1840–1904) Nez Percé Chieftain
