"In your power, all the same. Subject to your will and your demands. No longer free! No! That's a thought I'll never endure! Never."

Previous Quote

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

— George Bernard Shaw
