Thought of the Week: July 5, 2015
“In the end,
more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and
they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally
wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom
they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be
free and was never free again."
