"Men fear the slavery of the mind, but they fear twice as much the lack of authority. External authority is incomparably more convenient: the man has done a bad deed - he is reprimanded, punished, and from this moment he is as clean as if he had done nothing.

Men fear the slavery of the mind, but they fear twice as much the lack of authority. External authority is incomparably more convenient: the man has done a bad deed - he is reprimanded, punished, and from this moment he is as clean as if he had done nothing.
""Oamenii se tem de sclavia minții, dar se tem de două ori mai mult de lipsa de autoritate. Autoritatea exterioară este incomparabil mai convenabilă: omul a făcut o faptă rea - este mustrat, pedepsit, și din acest moment el este curat de parcă nu ar fi făcut nimic."
