How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom? I think it's a lie � people claim they want to be free � everybody insists that freedom is what they want the most, the most sacred and precious thing a man can possess. But that's bullshit! People are terrified to be set free � they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security�How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?
