Porque odiamos a liberdade. Outra vez Saul Bellow

" We are afraid to govern ourselves. Of course. It is so hard. We soon want to give up our freedom. It is not even real freedom, because it is not accompanied by comprehension. It is only a preliminary condition of freedom. But we hate it. And soon we run out, we choose a master, roll over our backs and ask for the leash."

( diálogo de Joseph com o Spirit of Alternatives, pág. 167 de Dangling Man, romance de Saul Bellow de 1944, editado pela Penguin na colecção Modern Classics )
