“A man is as free as he chooses to make himself, never an atom freer.”
“A truly free man is not free 'from' anything, nor free 'to' anything, he is just free. Free within himself.”
“no man is free until he s a master of himself!!”
“An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose”
“If one makes himself master of one vital book, he shall never become a commonplace man.”
“Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity. ”
