Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

"A writer’s duty is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed."

You are the artist of your own life. Don't hand the paintbrush to anyone else.
