“What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures are tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, taking the place of my own free will, if this same authority, which protects me from the smallest thorns, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life?”
Alexis de Tocqueville
