Sovereign Bonds

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or bonds:

“The sovereign being is burdened with a servitude that crushes him and the condition of free men is deliberate servility.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

“What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
