Book Excerpt for the Day


    “Just think.  Those two, in paradise, were given a choice: happiness without freedom, or freedom without happiness.  There was no third alternative.  Those idiots chose freedom, and what came of it?  Of course, for ages afterward they longed for the chains.  The chains – you understand?  That’s what world sorrow was about.  For ages!  And only we have found the way of restoring happiness."
