Freedom is neither a legal invention nor a philosophical conquest, the cherished possession of civilizations more valid than others because they alone have been able to create or preserve it. It is the outcome of an objective relationship between the individual and the space he occupies, between the consumer and the resources at his disposal.
Sometimes it's best not to see your whole path laid out before you. Let life surprise you. . . There are more stars out there than just the ones with names. And they're all beautiful.
