Quotes on Illusion Of Freedom

We have the illusion of freedom only because so few ever try to exercise it. Try it sometime. Try to save your home from the highway crowd, or to work a trade without the approval of the goons, or to open a little business without a permit, or to grow a crop without a quota, or to educate your child the way you want to, or to not have a child. We all have the freedom of a balloon floating in a pin factory.

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.

If freedom is a requisite for human happiness, then all that’s necessary is to provide the illusion of freedom.
