. . . nothing is more important than freedom. Nothing is more sacred than freedom. Nothing is greater than freedom. Nothing. . . can be permitted to stand in the way of freedom. Freedom. . . is all that makes men great. It is all men have to live for. Without freedom, what good is life?
What kills love? Only this: Neglect. Not to see you when you stand before me. Not to think of you in the little things. Not to make the road wide for you, the table spread for you. To choose you out of habit not desire, to pass the flower seller without a thought. To leave the dishes unwashed, the bed unmade, to ignore you in the mornings, make use of you at night. To crave another while pecking your cheek. To say your name without hearing it, to assume it is mine to call.
