“Against slavery all right thinkers revolt, and though torture be the price of resistance, torture must be dared: though the only road to freedom lie through the gates of death, those gates must be passed; for freedom is indispensable.”
Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855), “The Professor”
WOW! Take a moment to appreciate the mastery and poetry of Brontë’s use of language.
Q.

I ask, what sets one free? Truth sets you free? Against illusion all right thinkers revolt, and though there be resistance even torture against those daring to be true, those gates of resistance must be passed in order to, be free; for personal freedom is indispensable.
Zitat Nr. 01: „Die Kunst des Lebens ist es, zu wissen, wie man ein wenig genießt und viel aushält.“ — William Hazlitt
Es kommt darauf an, was dem Einzelnen zugedacht ist, was er erfahren soll und will. Manch einer ist in der Lage, viel zu genießen und gelegentlich einiges auszuhalten.
So viel lässt sich sagen: Was uns zugedacht ist... können wir aushalten.
