Famous quotes containing the words intrinsic and/or values:

“To have that sense of one’s intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)

“When the shingles hissed
in the rain incendiary,
other values were revealed to us,”
