Freedom Quote by Rachel Cohn

“'Freedom.' He pauses a moment to reflect on the F-word. 'Sometimes I think it's an idea that enslaves us. We're never free from hungering for the notion that we can even have freedom. When perhaps it's the very idea of it that causes us to suffer.” quote by Rachel Cohn — Download Open image
