““She did not feel free; but then she reflected, she really did not know how being free should feel. She supposed it would be a negative sensation, not a positive, a matter of not having rather than having – of not having to strive, of not having to resist, of not having to guard one's little corner, one's bit of shelter; above all of not having to insist, against the will of others, on the sovereignty of one's self.””
