Life's but a trap where the mind falls, all doors are traps
which we fling open with our dreams or our strong thoughts;
the more our freedom grows the deeper down we sink.
Man's whole submission to all great necessities,
alas, may be the only outlet Freedom has.
 Nikos Kazantzakis, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel (1938). copy citation
