“The individual man, in introspecting the fact of his own consciousness, also discovers the primordial natural fact of his freedom: his freedom to choose, his freedom to use or not use his reason about any given subject. In short, the natural fact of his "free will." He also discovers the natural fact of his mind's command over his body and its actions: that is, of his natural ownership over his self.”
![“Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self. [] If man puts his honor first in relying upon himself, knowing himself and applying himself, this in self-reliance, self-assertion…” quote by Max Stirner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/00e/max-stirner-6556_barriers_whoever-will-be-free-must-make-himself-f_699179.jpg)
