“Besides, a life without freedom to choose is not worth having.”

“Freedom is not worth it without him.”

“No one could ever truly be free as long as they loved, and life wasn't worth living without love. So freedom? Overrated.”

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

“You would rather face a life without me than to have me choose a life I would not choose for myself.”

“Foreignness is intrinsically stimulating. Like a good game of bridge, the condition of being foreign engages the mind constantly without ever tiring it.”……“But we cannot expect to have it all ways. Life is full of choices, and to choose one thing is to forgo another. The dilemma of foreignness comes down to one of liberty versus fraternity—the pleasures of freedom versus the pleasures of belonging. The homebody chooses the pleasures of belonging. The foreigner chooses the pleasures of freedom, and the pains that go with them.”
