You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief, But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.
真正的自由,并不是白昼没有忧虑、夜晚没有渴求与悲伤,而是当这些围绕着你的生活时,你仍能不带束缚地超越它们。
— Kahlil Gibran · The Prophet (1923) · On Freedom —
