" I do not think that all men truly desire freedom. Some are terrified of it; they want someone to tell them what to do, what not to do, what is permissible - to place tolerable borders on their lives. Some even want to be told what to think, for it saves them the trouble of having to do it for themselves. There is a little of this mentality in most of us, I think. Partly it is simple laziness, but mainly it is because to be absolutely free is to leave yourself exposed to all the wild, sometime contradictory mysteries of the world. Limits are needed to reduce the confusion. "
