Thomas More
“ [how can anyone] be silly enough to think himself better than other people, because his clothes are made of finer woolen thread than theirs. After all, those fine clothes were once worn by a sheep, and they never turned it into anything better than a sheep. ”
― Thomas More, Utopia

“ My boundaries are clear and bold. For the first time in my life, I have self‑control. Living on my terms and just being me — This renaissance is happy and free. ”
― Charmaine J Forde
