Liberty - Destruction

Time for some thoughts :)

"Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end."
- Lord Acton.


"A child will weep a bramble's smart,
"A maid to see her sparrow part,
"A stribling for a woman's heart:
"But woo awaits a country, when
"She sees the tears of bearded men.
- Scott: Marmion.

"Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will." (Thomas Carlyle.)
