"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."
