-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Quotations
Freedom
Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free. . . . It's a dangerous world out there, filled with predators. . . . What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom.
-Scarlett Thomas
"Going Out"
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
-Theodor W. Adorno

by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
