4 quotes

Not pleasure, not glory, not power: freedom, only freedom.

Inside the henhouse from where he will be taken to be killed, the cock sings hymns to liberty because he was given two perches.

Liberty is the possibility of isolation.

Freedom is the possibility of isolation... If you can't live alone, you were born a slave.
