Independence Day. —tεᖇᖇ¡·g]
[F]ireworks had for her a direct and magical appeal. Their attraction was more complex than that of any other form of art. They had pattern and sequence, colour and sound, brilliance and mobility; they had suspense, surprise, and a faint hint of danger; above all, they had the supreme quality of transience, which puts the keenest edge on beauty and makes it touch some spring in the heart which more enduring excellences cannot reach. ~Jan Struther, Mrs. Miniver, 1930s [Note: In its original context, this excerpt is referring to fireworks on Guy Fawkes' Day, not the U.S.A. Independence Day. —tεᖇᖇ¡·g]
There was one bursting now, a delicate constellation of many-coloured stars which drifted down and lingered in the still air.... The final rocket went up, a really large one, a piece of reckless extravagance. Its sibilant uprush was impressive, dragonlike; it soared twice as high as any they had had before.... The sparks from the rocket came pouring down the sky in a slow golden cascade, vanishing one by one into a lake of darkness. ~Jan Struther, Mrs. Miniver, 1930s [Note: In its original context, this excerpt is referring to fireworks on Guy Fawkes' Day, not the U.S.A. Independence Day. —tεᖇᖇ¡·g]

Economic
independence is the foundation of the only sort of freedom worth a damn
Do
not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence.
There
is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
In
all liberation struggles it is the common people who bathe in the fire of
oppression.
Only
in return for death, destruction and grief as gifts can we see the paradise of
independence.
Through
the intensive aspiration of the human soul arises in man the desire for
independence.
Clever
men will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness; every authority rouses
their ridicule, every superstition amuses them, every convention moves them to
contradiction.
Only force finds favor in their eyes, and they have no
toleration for anything that is not purely natural and spontaneous. And yet ten
clever men are not worth one man of talent, nor ten men of talent worth one man
of genius.
And in the individual, feeling is more than cleverness, reason is
worth as much as feeling, and conscience has it over reason.
If, then, the
clever man is not mockable, he may at least be neither loved, nor considered,
nor esteemed.
He may make himself feared, it is true, and force others to
respect his independence; but this negative advantage, which is the result of a
negative superiority, brings no happiness with it. Cleverness is serviceable
for everything, sufficient for nothing.
Through
the pushing of the rising for independence the wheel rolls of human history.
