"Freedom is so much a part of the human makeup that it is not too far fetched to say that an un-free human being is in a sense a contradiction in terms. The ideal society is one in which it's members enjoy their freedom to be human freely, provided they do not infringe the freedom of others unduly. We are made to have freedom of association, of expression, of movement, the freedom to choose who will rule over us and how. We are made for this...It cannot ultimately be eradicated, this yearning for freedom to be human. This is what tyrants and unjust rulers have to contend with. They cannot in the end stop their victims from being human. Their unjust regimes must ultimately fall because they seek to deny something that cannot be denied."
~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
