Emotion -- particularized human emotion -- comes through so strongly in Schubert’s lieder. It is the music of a composer and also a poet in his medium (music).
Emphasis is achieved by placing weight or stress on certain key points or sections in the essay and on the conclusion. The skillful writer can achieve this sometimes without being obvious.
emphasis is not always a matter of putting the key idea at the end

what a beggar needs most of all is encouragement and a feeling that one is not regarded as being of no account or insignificant as a human being
What a magnificent image. A man shoulders his way through a crowd brushing aside others in his way. The whale swims the ocean shouldering aside the waves.
What death means. My own. That of loved ones. Its inevitability. How death is a poignant part of life as Walt Whitman said.
What is the point of inflicting a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence (plus a million dollar fine) on a seventy-six-year-old man with no prior criminal record?
What is the risk that I am going to spread the disease in the open air without being part of a group? --- I feel that it is very low.
what made the novel’s “anti-war message” so compelling was the unobtrusiveness of the main character: Paul Bäumer

When the Jacobins are finished -- if they have the way -- we will all be faceless ideologically scrubbed mental automatons with no individuality or personality.
When the satisfaction or the security of another person becomes as significant to one as is one’s own satisfaction or security then the state of love exists.

Whitman though a native of the New York area loved it and wrote of it with the zeal and zest usually found only in those from elsewhere who have made New York their chosen home.
Whitman’s poetry isn’t gay. It’s pan-sexual free to ever cross borders and return back -- completely free of being defined by the preference of the moment.

You can’t quantify what a student from one race or another may or not add to a school’s educational environment
You don’t desecrate grave memorials and plaques. We thought the Taliban idol smashers were bad. But then the comparison would be lost on the PC zealots.
You have to make a sincere effort to see the other person’s point of view
You must love all men equally respect and regard them equally and whatever happens to another whether good or bad must be the same as if it happened to you.
You should not get angry at someone just for holding an opinion
You were no Aristotle no Cicero or St. Augustine (writing about just wars) no Gibbon. You should have stuck to fiction.
You’ve got to be willing -- once a friendship has been formed and particularly in the case of longstanding relationships -- to put up with the failings and annoying habits of others if they desire a
