" "Her şeyin güçlük, görev ve zorunluluk olduğu toplum yaşamına hiçbir zaman elverişli olmadığım ve boyun eğmez huyum dolayısıyla insanlarla yaşamak isteyenlerin kabul etmek zorunda kaldıkları yükümlülüklere katlanamadığımdır. Özgür davrandıkça, iyi bir insanım ve yalnızca iyilik ederim; ama gerek zorunluğun gerek insanların boyunduruğunu duar duymaz huylanır, başkaldırırım; o zaman hiç bir işe yaramam. İsteğimce davranamazsam, ne olursa olsun gitmem; ama, zarif bir adam olduğum için o isteğimi de yerine getirmem. İnsan için özgürlüğün, istediğini yapmaktan çok istemediğini yapmamak olduğuna her zaman inanmışımdır.

For quite apart from the fact that with these they nourish that spiritual pettiness so appropriate for servitude, they know very well that all the needs which people give themselves are so many chains binding them. When Alexander wished to keep the Ichthyophagi dependent on him, he forced them to abandon fishing and to nourish themselves on foods common to other people. And no one has been able to subjugate the savages in America, who go around quite naked and live only from what their hunting provides. In fact, what yoke could be imposed on men who have no need of anything?
