I am free (Heinlein)

December 9th, 2008  |  Published in Morality, Politics, Quotes  |  1 Comment

I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

—Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (1966), p. 85.
