“The desire to choose is thus a natural drive, and though it most likely developed because it is a crucial aid to our survival, it often operates independently of any concrete benefits. In such cases, the power of choice is so great that it becomes not merely a means to an end but something intrinsically valuable and necessary.”

“We think of choosing as the practice of freedom, which includes the freedom to be yourself and do your thing. Our choices are not just about what we need or want; they’re about who we are and what we stand for.
