Jean-Jacques Rousseau

d. 7-2-1778; France
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, philosopher, author and composer, based his philosophical works of the principle of the natural goodness of humanity and the corrupting influence of civilization and society. Individual liberty was crushed by division of labor and a social contract that called for the investing power in governing structures.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau quotes:
• “All of my misfortunes come from having thought too well of my fellows.”
• “Base souls have no faith in great individuals.”
• “Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.”
• “I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.”
• “However great a man's natural talent may be, the act of writing cannot be learned all at once.”
• “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in shackles.”
• “The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.”
• “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”
• “You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.”
• The Social Contract, Jean-Jacques Rousseau
