Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Our greatest evil flows from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Gracefulness cannot subsist without ease delicacy is not debility nor must a woman be sick in order to please. Infirmity, and sickness may excite our pity, but desire and pleasure require the bloom and vigor of health.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When a man dies he clutches in his hands only that which he has given away during his lifetime.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Men speak from knowledge, women from imagination.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We lose all that time which we might employ better.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
My bad head cannot adjust itself to the way things are.... If I want to depict spring, it has to be in wintertime if I want to describe a beautiful landscape, I must be enclosed within walls and I have said a hundred times that if I were put in the Bastille, there I would paint a picture of liberty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Whoever blushes is already guilty true innocence is ashamed of nothing.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
