We are all subject to the fates. But we must act as if we are not, or die of despair.
Truth in my love for the subject will produce superior results.
while the executive should give every possible value to the information of the specialist, no executive should abdicate thinking on any subject because of the expert.

[John Wheeler] rejuvenated general relativity; he made it an experimental subject and took it away from the mathematicians
Democracy, or "majority rules," is another trick of our society to force us to do things we don't want to do. Even if we actually lived in a pure democracy (and the system we do live in is not even close), where everyone got a single vote on every subject, forcing the minority to obey the majority is no different to one man, if he had the power, forcing everyone else to do what he wanted them to-simply because he could.

What is the subject of our thought? Experience! Nothing else!
Do what Jesus says,. . . what he commands through his ministers who are in the Church [see 1 Cor 6:4]. Be subject to his vicars, your leaders, not only those who are gentle and kind, but even those who are overbearing [see 1 Pt 2:18].
La Haine - first of all, it was the story of friendship. I was very close with Mathieu Kassovitz; he was somebody I met in the nights of Paris. And the hip-hop scene and all that. . . You know, it was very much about doing our own thing, and some of the subject matter was so close to what we knew and the people we were hanging out with.
It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.
