" I have seen you prostrate yourself and worship your own freedom,

Even as slaves humble themselves before a tyrant and praise him though he slays

them.

Ay, in the grove of the temple and in the shadow of the citadel I have seen the

freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.

And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of

seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom

as a goal and a fulfillment. "

 

" On Freedom " in The Prophet - by Kahlil Gibran
