“Yo quisiera hacer lo que me dé la gana detrás de la cortina de la locura. Así: arreglaría las flores, todo el día, pintaría el dolor, el amor y la ternura, me reiría a mis anchas de la estupidez de otros, y todos dirían: pobre, está loca. Sobre todo me reiría de mi estupidez, construiría mi mundo, que mientras viviera estaría de acuerdo con todos los mundos. El día o la hora o el minuto que viviera sería mío y de todos. Mi locura no sería un escape a mi trabajo".”

“The defense of freedom as the ideal for civil legislation or social relations ironically results in the loss of that very freedom. The tolerance of absolutely all opinions in a society will lead to relativism and to the destruction of the society as a body of men who relate by recognized laws to each other; for that reason the government requires its teachers to vow that they are not committed to its overthrow and passes laws against sedition. Just where freedom should begin and be curtailed, then, is an unavoidable problem for the liberty ideal. And it cannot be resolved without applying the principles of an underlying moral system.”
