Max Stirner. The only one and his property (№ 211971)

To be free - from what? Much is, of course, such that we should shake off. The yoke of serfdom, unlimited power over him, the yoke of the aristocracy and princes, the domination of passions and lusts, but even the government's own will, self-will, for perfect self-denial also comes down to freedom, the freedom of self-determination, from self, and the desire for freedom as for something absolute, for which we shall pay any price, deprived us of our identities; it created self-denial, self-denial. But the freer I become, the more piled on me violence, I feel bessilna.
