On Freedom

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Those who think themselves the masters of others are indeed greater slaves than they."

"...nothing is so gentle as a man in his prime state, when placed by nature at an equal distance from the stupidity of brutes and the fatal enlightenment of civil man."

"[...] you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."

~Jean Jacques Rousseau~
