“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a greater slave than they.”
Text from the included edition · French
“L'homme est né libre, & par-tout il est dans les fers. Tel se croit le maître des autres, qui ne laisse pas d'être plus esclave qu'eux.”
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Du contrat social (Le contrat social)
