he met Gabrielle Suchon a philosopher
1632 – 1703
Whereya been all my life
“All things in nature know no
more deadly effects then when they are constrained, which is to say, when they
are removed from their centre of gravity. . . . when wind is confined in a subterranean
place . . . it causes strange disturbances and inflicts severe convulsions on
earth. . . . the agitation that
constraint produces in the human mind is incomparably more malignant and
dangerous than wind. . . . Constraint
brings changes and trouble to families . . . and is more frightful than all the
reversals of nature and the contrariness of the elements.”
freedom
versus constraint
a kind word euphemism hed
use shackled
“Women would surmount some
aspects of their constraint if they knew how to resist and how not to be so pliable
and blind in helping to forge their own chains. But far from striving to acquire
this sacred freedom, women invent a thousand ways every day that serve to
imprison them further.”
keeping in mind Gabrielle Suchon wrote during
the Seventeenth Century the fact that she
could read and write was due to her incarceration in a convent she was instructed so she knew the Bible the Word of God
his favourite quote of hers to
date very timely
“Since all the evils committed in the
world originate from ignorance, it should not come as a surprise that ignorance
engenders dimness, weakness, dissoluteness and corruption of their principal
parts of a rational being.”
he disagreed with the evil bit she wasafter all a sister during her
confinement

he found Gabrielle while reading
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
from Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Among Men
(1755) this quote warmed the cockles
of his heart
“Man in the state of nature was a solitary creature. Primitive social organisation
brought various forms of natural inequality to light. Civilisation progressed,
usurpers invented laws to protect their ill-gotten gains, and inequality
between the haves and the have-nots became legal and binding. The day will come
when
tyranny will make us equal again – in our wretchedness.”
