"Freedom," John Ruskin
You will send your child, will you, into a room where the table is loaded with sweet wine and fruit-some poisoned, some not?-you will say to him, "Choose freely, my little child! It is so good for you to have freedom of choice, it forms your character-your individuality! If you take the wrong cup or the wrong berry, you will die before the day is over, but you
will have acquired the dignity of a free child."
