If you go to see the woman, do not forget the whip.
Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot. How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?
I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type.
Karen wasn't hard, she was soft, too soft. A soft touch. Her hair was soft, her smile was soft, her voice was soft. She was so soft there was no resistance.

I've always been the quiet, not-stand-up-for-myself kind of guy.
I will admit, the dominatrix look has won me over!

Everything depends on whether the technological disposition is allowed to proceed to its self-augmenting limits, or whether it can be restricted and brought under intellectual, spiritual, moral, and political rule.
Looking away is submissive. Looking [..] in the eye is a challenge.
I'm not strong-willed, actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
I don't walk into a room with an authoritative stance. I tend to be a little more submissive, even though I think I have a certain amount of strength. So, it's tough for me to play authority without feeling uncomfortable.
I'm a big wuss, and not the king in the least. My wife is.
It was no accident of time or place that the concentration of power over all human life in a centrally planned society attracted and rewarded the aggressive, unscrupulous, and demagogic who would attract around them the simultaneously submissive and ruthless. Central planning would bring forth leaders who took power not as a necessary evil, but as an end in itself.
Kors is paraphrasing Hayek and his book Road to Serfdom.
The true believer, no matter how rowdy and violent his acts, is basically an obedient and submissive person.
I'm actually very timid and nonconfrontational.
People step on my feet, and I say I'm sorry.
