My reason, it's true, controls my feelings, but whatever its authority, it doesn't rule them so much as tyrannize them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had a contemptuous relationship with authority throughout my life. I found myself at odds with authority, and I'm disdainful of blind authority.
It is a great matter to be in authority over others; for authority, if it be rightly used, will make you feared beyond your actual resources.
Just because people are in authority, if it doesn't seem right, don't do it. If it violates your own principles, don't do it.
Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.
People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'
I do what I do; I can't control who thinks what.
Think for yourself and question authority.
I continue to be fascinated by the fact that feelings are not just the shady side of reason but that they help us to reach decisions as well.
Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
Whenever there is authority, there is a natural inclination to disobedience.
