Freedom Quote by Foundation for Inner Peace

“There is no one who does not feel that he is imprisoned in some way. If this is the result of his own free will he must regard his will as not free, or the circular reasoning in this position would be quite apparent. Free will must lead to freedom.” quote by Foundation for Inner Peace
