“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”
Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)
Born in Britain to a sea-going family, Ellis spent many of his teen age years in Australia before returning to England to study medicine. In 1897 he published Sexual Inversion, the first book to study homosexuality and transgender issues objectively and without moral judgment. He was an active social reformer and president of the influential Galton Society which promoted eugenics, an attempt to improve human traits through controlled reproduction, later so discredited by the Nazis. His early studies on autoeroticism and narcissism prefigured those of Sigmund Freud. He was married to Edith Lees, an avowed lesbian, but they lived apart, and he himself complained of impotence for most of his life.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Love the quote, so true. He was well before his time I would say, here’s to being yourself.
