"Freedom is the most precious gift that Heaven has bestowed upon men."
-Don Quixote
"Freedom is the energy to adhere to the real, to being. It is adhering to something other than yourself that completes you, makes you grow, builds and fulfills your person."
-Fr. Luigi Giussani
Freedom, which must adhere to the good, the true, and the beautiful present among us, is found only in Christ, the source and summit of our lives. Only in abandoning everything to him can we truly be free, and only in searching for the good, the true, and the beautiful in reality and our encounters with others will we find Christ.

You have made us for Yourself, And my heart is restless until it rests in You. When I am completely united to You, There will be no more sorrow or trials. Entirely full of You, my life will be complete. -St. Augustine

My friend is a stranger, someone I do not know.
A stranger far, far away
For his sake my heart is full of disquiet
Because he is not with me…
Who are you who so fill my heart with your absence?
Who fill the entire world with you absence?

There was a salesclerk who sold pills invented to quench thirst. Swallow one a week and you no longer feel any need to drink.
"Why do you sell these pills?" [the little prince asked.]
"They save so much time," the salesclerk said. "Experts have calculated that you can save fifty-three minutes a week."
"And what would you do with those fifty-three minutes?"
"Whatever you like."
"If I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked," the little prince said to himself, "I'd walk very slowly toward a water fountain."
Life is the most romantic of all adventures, but only those with an adventerous heart can understand this. -G.K. Chesterton
"Where are all the men?" the little prince asked. "It is a little lonely in the desert."
"It is also lonely among men," the snake said.
"It is also lonely among men," the snake said.
