Quote #4 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Individual and Leaving Society

“...he seeks the frontier and the forest, where, with a constitution prepared to undergo the hardships and the difficulties of the situation, he enjoys a delicious freedom from care, and a seducing society, where no rules of behavior are prescribed, but the simple dictates of the heart.”
