“Adam (man) could not rid himself of his freedom, nor escape from the drama, to be as innocent as an animal or an angel. He has to choose, to use his freedom, to be good and evil; in one word, to be man. This ability to choose, regardless of result, is the highest form of existence possible in the universe.”
