Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
Theodor Adorno
I must be free... free to do what I like, say what I like, write what I like, within the limits prescribed for me by my own sense of what is seemly and fitting.
Thomas Edward Brown

Dennis Cardoza
