Quotes about Obstructed

ANIENTED  (A'NIENTED)   adj.[anneantir, Fr.]Frustrated; brought to nothing.

The one thing in the world of value is the active soul,—the soul, free, sovereign, active. This every man is entitled to; this every man contains within him, although in almost all men obstructed, and as yet unborn. The soul active sees absolute truth and utters truth, or creates. In this action it is genius; not the privilege of here and there a favorite, but the sound estate of every man.
