“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."
