Wednesday's Quote

I saw a statue of Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) in, of all places, Tacoma earlier today. So here's a great line from teh most famous of Norwegian playwrights.

"One of the qualities of liberty is that,
as long as it is being striven after, it goes
on expanding. Therefore, the man who
stands in the midst of the struggle and
says, "I have it," merely shows by
doing so that he has just lost it."
