“Because we cling to ways of thinking that don’t even qualify as thinking. We don’t know how to be free because we don’t know how to free those we enslave. We don’t even know we’re doing anything of the sort. Maybe we think that the value of our own freedom is worth less if everybody else has it. And we’re afraid. We’re afraid that, if someone wants what we have, they’re taking something away that belongs to us—and only to us. But who does a country belong to? Tell me. Who does the earth belong to? I’d like to think that someday we’ll realize that the earth belongs to us all. But I won’t live to see that day.”
