About This Quote

According to writer Victor Hugo, “It is more important to be free than to be happy.” If you are free, you are free to make your own choices, you are free to do what you want with your life. You can be happy if you choose to do so or not. However, if you are happy, it is because of other people taking care of you and making sure that your life is comfortable. Freedom to choose your own destiny is the best thing that could happen.
