“Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“Every select man strives instinctively for a citadel and a privacy, where he is FREE from the crowd, the many, the majority-- where he may forget "men who are the rule," as their exception;-- exclusive only of the case in which he is pushed straight to such men by a still stronger instinct, as a discerner in the great and exceptional sense.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

“Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.”
― Sigmund Freud

“Freedom is not a reward or a decoration that you toast in champagne. On the contrary, it's hard graft and a long-distance run, all alone, very exhausting. Alone in a dreary room, alone in the dock before the judges, and alone to make up your mind, before yourself and before the judgement of others. At the end of every freedom there is a sentence, which is why freedom is too heavy to bear.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall
