"Yes…fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”
@mibwright my favorite fact about Brazil: if you get caught trying to escape from prison there's no extra punishment, because the law understands that wishing for freedom is not a crime; it's just part of being human.
