"Nature, keeping only useless secrets, had placed within reach and in sight of human beings the things it was necessary for them to know."-Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality, Volume 3: The Care of the Self
"The basic attitude that one must have toward political activity was related to the general principle that whatever one is, it is not owing to the rank one holds, to the responsibility one exercises, to the position in which one finds oneself-above or beneath other people. What one is, and what one needs to devote one's attention to as to an ultimate purpose, is the expression of a principle that is singular in its manifestation within each person, but universal by the form it assumes in everyone, and collective by the community bond it establishes between individuals. Such is, at least for the Stoics, human reason as a divine principle present in all of us."-Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality, Volume 3: The Care of the Self
