“ A freedom which wills itself freedom is in fact a being-which-is-not-what-it-is and which-is-what-it-is-not, and which chooses as the ideal of being, being-what-it-is-not and not-being-what-it-is.
This freedom chooses then not to recover itself but to flee itself, not to coincide with itself but to be always at a distance from itself. ”
 Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness (1943). copy citation
