Free III

"The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."
--Gilbert Keith Chesterton
(1874-1936) British essayist, critic, poet, and novelist
