"Human nature<br />
is not a machine<br />
to be built after a model,<br />
and set to do exactly <br />
the work prescribed for it,<br />
<br />
but a tree<br />
which requires to grow<br />
and develop itself on all sides, <br />
according to the tendency<br />
of the inward forces<br />
which make it<br />
a living thing.<br />
<br />
Such <br />
are the differences<br />
among human beings<br />
in their sources of pleasure, <br />
their susceptibilities of pain,<br />
and the operation on them<br />
of different physical and moral agencies, <br />
<br />
that<br />
unless there is<br />
a corresponding diversity<br />
in their modes of life, <br />
they neither obtain their fair share of happiness, <br />
nor grow up to the mental, moral, and aesthetic stature <br />
of which their nature is capable."<br />
<br />
<br />
''John Stuart Mill'', On Liberty (1859)<br />
